Advantages and disadvantages of smartphones and their effects on children’s future.

 

Smartphones are modern communication devices. Since the evolution of technology, things called “smartphones” are existed. The first person who invented the telephone was Alexander Graham Bell. That was only used for communication purposes. Since technology evolved, the features and the availability of a smartphone increased, meaning that there are a lot of things to do with it. For example, we can use it to communicate and make friends on social media. We can also use it for entertainment, like watching videos and playing video games. The biggest platforms of smartphones are the apple.inc and the android.
When we think of smartphones, we mostly remember the advantages. They have many features like pixel free cameras, touch screen and so on. Smartphones can help us to succeed in our future in separate ways like online learning, searching job opportunities, learning programs, and using media that helps us to learn new things. We can use it for online shopping and banking as well. There are search engines and Websites that can be used to search up information. Google is one of the well-known search engines. We can also know the news about the outside world. As same as there are many advantages, there are many disadvantages of smart phones as well. Children at an early age can be introduced to inappropriate sites and content. They can be distracted by doing things that are useless and yet so stupid that they will not help them to lead for success. They might get addicted and stare at smartphones all day long. They will eventually lead their focus to social media, gaming and other useless features and worry about perfecting them. One of serious disadvantage of smart phone is that hackers could hack into your device. Also, viruses may affect it and cause to leak private information around the social network. Smartphones already do a lot of online damage and physical damage as well.  Staring at a screen for a long time can lead to eye strain. Smartphones can also cause cancer and other neurological diseases. Sometimes smart phones might affect our mental health and lead to stress.
Children are the world’s future generation that will determine the balance and peace between one another.  Children can be blinded by technology and grow apart from their families. This is why smartphones are very harmful but also useful in life. Children have a huge responsibility to get a good education so that they can build up a better life and to get a happy family. But what if something distracts them from doing that? If children waste their time on doing things that they are not supposed to do in their devices, they might end up wasting their life and their chance of being a successful person. The over usage of smartphones can also cause less attention in studies which will make it harder for you to get a good education. They will have a tough time focusing to do what’s right and what they should not do. Addiction can cause them to go in the wrong path in life and make them lonely and helpless. If children don’t learn well and get a good education, they might end up begging and reflecting on what they did wrong in their life, which can cause them mental pain.
