In the computer age, lots of advanced technology has been invented that is so convenient for everyone. Besides, the problems of using technology have increased considerably. Some children spending hours every day on their smartphones is a big deal that any parents care about, I believe that if children know how to use smartphones correctly, they learn lots of things from them. So spending more time using smartphones can be negative or positive depending on the way people use them.
On the one hand, using the phone for suffering social media all day is extremely negative. This makes people feel tired because of doing nothing for hours. At that time, the brain doesn’t do anything. It only watches short videos without any purpose. The same as playing video games for hours. However, this is better than suffering social media. The brain has tasks to do in that game but playing game more make people addicted, especially children. Therefore, we should read books, do exercises, learn something new, and hang out, … instead of doing negative things hours a day.
However, using smartphones is not completely negative. The smartphone is a big source of knowledge, news, and books, … Using the phone to study with friends through Google Meet or Zoom makes people not feel alone and increases productivity. Books or courses can be found on the phone without spending money. Therefore, we can learn lots of knowledge through using the phone. The last one is expanding relationships. Smartphones help people easily make new friends on social media.
Overall, spending more time on smartphones depends on the way people use them. I believe that by using smartphones in the right way, I can change my life and become a better version.
