overuse of cellphone causes trauma in young brains
Answers
Shakespeare has very wisely said: “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Similarly, mobile phones in themselves are neither good nor bad; however, how we use them makes them good or bad. Mobiles have become a source of major distractions for the 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 useless sites.
The overuse of mobile has posed serious health issues. Radiation caused by microwaves emitting from network towers as well as mobile phones, eyesight getting affected due to exposure to mobile screen for hours, etc. are some of the health issues. Besides, mobile phones are also responsible for difficulty in concentration, fatigue, headaches and sleep disturbance that can further trigger health complications. Owing to late night use of mobile phones, the youngsters skimp on sleep which further causes health consequences. This has made them aggressive and irritated.
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. The parents, teachers and the government must look into the problems being caused by mobiles and 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 on mobiles 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 and teach them to make best use of these wonderfully gadgets to improve themselves only.
Cellphone in today's world seems indispensable and knowingly or unknowingly, it has become an integral part of our lives. We have been habituated to the cellphone to a great extent. So much so that just a few hours without our mobile upset us and absence of our cell phone is a huge discomfort for us.
Children start using a cellphone at a very early age when they are not even capable of analyzing a situation and see the plus and minus of it. Parents often complain their ward's teacher about the misuse of the cellphone by their child, yet they are not able to monitor or control the use. As a result, children spend hours talking with their friends and at times they become a victim of cyber bullying or cyber crime.
If we really want the youth of our nation to contribute to nation's development constructively, we ought to limit the use of cellphone to only important and urgent matters.
