Phones are distracting students from learning (for ASL)
Good morning everyone present; I am going to expatiate on a topic that is related to almost all of us. I am going to express my views on ‘Phones are distracting students from learning’. Smart phones have made access to social media and networking sites such as Facebook , Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, etc. so easy that these sites have become source of major distractions for students. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to these sites. They are thoughtlessly and uselessly wasting their precious time on these sites.
Wise people say time well utilized is time well spent, but the youth of today is only and only wasting time on chatting, messaging, uploading photographs and modifying profiles. The smart phones and 4G connections have made the situation worse. Accessing such sites has become so easy that young boys and girls are using these sites almost everywhere and almost all the time. They can even watch their favorite TV programs on smartphones.
The following questions need to be answered: ‘Where will this lead to? Are we heading towards only Facebook and Twitter perfection? Where are the objectives of attaining the status of an advanced country?’
There are so many challenges that we as a nation face. Challenges, such as population, poverty, unemployment, corruption, pollution, mismanagement of our natural resources, etc. Is it not a pathetic attitude of our youth to lose such objectives out of sight and instead waste their time, money and energy on such social networking sites so recklessly? Will Facebooking, Whatsapping, Twittering, Instagraming, Youtubing, etc. solve our national problems?
Students these days appear to be more worried about connecting to their friends on Facebook than being concerned about doing their studies, assignments and projects! The other major disadvantage of the increasing use of such networking sites is the spread of obscenity. This is having a very negative impact on the impressionable minds of our young children and leading them astray. Sitting in front of the screen for long hours also affects their health adversely in many ways.
The parents, teachers and the government must look into the problems being caused by these networking sites and must formulate a strategy either to curb or completely stop its fast growing negative influence on the minds of our youth. Our youth is the future of our nation. We cannot allow this youth to waste their precious time in doing the Facebook. The same time must be spent on studying, researching and developing leadership or other life-skills. It is our moral duty as well as responsibility to lead our youth on the right path. Efforts should be made in making our youth, especially the school students, aware of the disadvantages of such social networking sites. The concerned government authorities should make and implement some strict regulatory checks on the functioning of such networking sites in our country. Only with concerted efforts of parents, teachers and the government, this problem of addiction of our youth to networking sites can be removed.
