essay on students do not need mobile phones
Answers
Answer:
With the rise of smartphone technology, many parents are letting their children use their smartphones. While it may seem to be harmless, the benefits of letting children use smartphones can be argued. Smartphones can have an impact on a child’s development. Children should not have smartphones due to the impact they have on a child’s development.
Before smartphones, what did children do for fun? Kids used to spend their free time playing outdoors with their friends. This is where children learned to interact with others. They made friends, and used their imagination to have fun. Children didn’t require devices to stay entertained, they had to have fun with others.
With the availability of smartphones, children are becoming familiar with them at a very early age. This leads parents to feel like they can cause their children to have social problems by using the devices too much or to be harassed for not using smart devices. This leaves some parents in between a rock and a hard place. (Craig)
Smartphones prohibit children from socially interacting. Children who use their parent’s smartphones for playing games miss out on opportunities to interact with others. Children can become addicted to the games, this can cause problems later in life when they need social skills.
According to an article by Nina Pilapil, games that are designed for kids can keep them from social interaction. Parents should limit their children’s time spent on a smartphone and encourage them to play with friends instead. While exposure to smartphones is not necessarily a bad thing in small doses, it should be limited and monitored. (Pilapil)
Children are becoming more obese. This is caused in part by a lack of physical activity. Smartphones are ...

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.
hope it helped you out
thanks
