Answer:
Young children should not be allowed to own mobile phones. To what extent do you agree?
Nowadays, many children are provided with mobile phones since early ages in order to, according to some parents, keep in contact with their parents when they are out home. But, are we aware of the risks that new smartphones have? As I see it, new technologies and children should be controled by adults as far as is possible.
My main reason to think this is a psychological reason. Young children are not able to understand the risks and problems that smarthones can produce. Children want to be as their classmates, to be in fashion. Managing a smartphone with its characteristics is a difficult task which requires maturity.
Another reason is internet and its wide world connection. It is a well-known fact that loading photos to internet means lose your privacy. When a picture is loading in known social networks as Facebook, it is imposible to know where the picture ends up.
Some people argue that children today need to carry mobile phones so their parents are be able to locate them at any time. Moreover, they say that having a rechargable card is a good way to control the spent money by children. I can be agree with that, children today go out more than us in the past, and it is a good way to know where they are.
To sum up, I strongly believe that we should teach our children about the new technologies´risks. From schools and homes we have to talk with them about it. New technologies emerged to improve our life quality, from the knowledge they can fulfill their designated purpose.
