A number of individual believe that children should be allowed to own mobile phones at early ages. Personally, I disagree with this statement because too much use of these devices have negative impact on health and reduces the ability of critical thinking as well as affects the social interaction.
First of all, if we talk about negative impact on children’s health, excessive screen time emits harmful radiations from phone screen that damage the retina of eyes. Moreover, sitting straight for hours using mobile phones restricts the physical activities that ultimately ends up with health issues like obesity. For example, our new generation are badly addicted to the electronic devices and most of their time spend on play online games. Consequently, there are high rise in cardiovascular diseases and fatty liver issues even in young group of individuals.
Another main reason that children should not be allow to own a mobile phone is that it will restrict their brain development because they rely entirely on the technology for school’s homework. Nowadays, there are many artificial intelligence modals that solve a number of problems just in seconds and students use it as shortcut for their work and daily life problems, that reduces their thinking capability in future.
In conclusion, excessive use of phone has deterimental effect on health and reduces the brain activity in problem solving. Thats why, I disagree with this statement that children should not be allowed to own mobile phone at early age.
