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.
