Do we allow children to use mobile devices?

            Today, a lot of people use a cellphone. A cellphone is taken an important part of our life style. Cellphone markets are increased rapidly and the average usage age of a cellphone is decreased.  Kids often use their cellphone (or other mobile machines) and parents worried about an indulgence phenomenon of using a cellphone. Do we need to stop children to use mobile devices? In my opinion, we should allow children to use mobile devices.

            First, we are living in the society with high technology skills. Technologies keep changed and people need to learn these new stuffs. Especially for kids, they can learn quickly which means they spend less time than adults because kids enjoy learning new skills about mobile devices. Besides, the experiences that happened at childhood are strongly stamped into their thinking. These experiences can be a property for them. Many companies require these skills and learning these skills is difficult if people grow older. In today's society, these skills are essential to learn, so children need to be friendly with these.

            Second, mobile devices can be a useful tool for kids. I would like to compare a mobile device with a book. The strongest advantage of a mobile device is that it can contain videos, sounds, and real time information. For sure, these contents are more effective to attract children in many ways. A mobile device can be used for education, entertainment, communication, etc. Attracting children to teach something is very difficult and this is why I recommend children using mobile devices because it is easy and effective. Mobile devices can adrenalize children's curiocity easily and with parents' guide, it will make positive results.

            Some people can criticize that mobile devices are not good because these are so addictive. But we need to consider about this problem in two ways. First, in many cases, children’s addiction is happened because of parents’ indifference. A lot of parents let their children use these mobile devices and don’t give any guide or restriction. Second, addiction can be happened in various situations. Like I mentioned before, most part of children’s addiction is parents’ fault. If parents don’t allow their children to use mobile devices but keep having indifference, children can be addicted with anything such as eating, spending money, gambling, etc.

            Synthetically, mobile devices can affect in negative way for children such as addiction. However, it can be prevented by parents’ careful concern. I would like to focus on positive effects. If children use these mobile devices in right way under the appropriate control, nothing can be useful than these stuffs. To do that, Parents should set guidelines that children can accept logically, so among children and parents can be satisfied. Looking mobile devices carefully, control these well, and educate children. Attracting them with mobile devices to approach in educational way.

Why a cellphone makes social issues

Today, our life is connected closely with cellphones. Cellphones changed our lifestyle in different ways with positive effects. However, some people still criticize cellphones make negative social issues that harass our daily life. Why do they argue about cellphones? We should consider three things: addiction, insomnia, and rudeness.

 

First, so many people are addicted to their cellphone. A cellphone is a multifunctional tool, so people can receive any information easily. It can be an advantage, but also it can be a disadvantage. Since people receive so much information via a cellphone, they never loosen their hands from it. Even though when people walk on the street, they always look their cellphone. For people like I mentioned, a cellphone is a sweet poison. They know it is not good, but they can’t control their usage.

Second, a cellphone can be a cause of insomnia. Let’s think about the mobility of a cellphone. Cellphones are getting smaller, and these have so many interesting functions like gaming, movies, web-surfing, etc. Result, people delay their bedtime and spend more time the using their cellphones. For sure, a later bedtime makes huge impacts the next day. For example, getting tired, decreasing efficiency, a dizziness, etc.

Third, people are being rude with their cellphones. Many people are using and focusing on their cellphones during they meet their friends or parents. For sure, they don’t notice what is wrong using their cellphones. It violates etiquette of conversation and it is a basic manner. Individualism also boosts this problem to today’s society. A thoughtless acting makes social ills rapidly.

 

A cellphone is important, and it helps to our social development like a catalyst.

However, many side effects, like addiction, insomnia, and rudeness.

With these problems, a cellphone can’t be a helpful tool anymore.

To prevent these side effects, we need an insight and discipline to use well.

An appropriate usage and judgment are the key to solve issues of cellphones.
