Over the decades, many people believe that developing of modern technoligies especially smartphones have a positive impact on children, while others argue that mobile phones have a negative influnce on young generations. This essay will discuss both views, and in my opinion, both perpectives are equally important for children.
On the one hand, mobile phones are the most effective way to learn new skills and activities, make friends, and communication with parents. This can be explained by the fact that smartphones are quite suitable for children. They can improve their knowledge via the internet to participate online courses, watching lessons and reading books in whenever. In addition, using of mobile phones are remarkably convinient among young people to make friends from all over the world via apps and platforms such as telegram messenger, instagram and facebook. For example, instagram has gained widespread popularity among users and it allows children to become acquainted with others from different countries.
On the other hand, smart devices can create some harmful effects for young people. This is due to the fact that the excessive mobile devicesuse can lead to addiction. As a result, they devote a lot of time in front of screen without physical activity and this leads to poor eye vision, overweight and different mental problems. Furthermore, the usage of mobile devices can cause poor academic performance for children. They spend a lot of time playing mobile games instead of doing their hometasks or broaden their knowledge. To illustrate, if a young boy devotes eight or nine hours in front of screen instead of playing outside with his friends or doing his hometasks, which causes to obesity and lack of knowledge, with the passage of time, this problem may become more serious.
In conclusion, I maintain that, If adults set limits and monitor their childrens’ mobile devices to avoid harmful effects, both perspectives are equally important for children to develop their lifestyle.
