Q.1. READ THE GIVEN PASSAGE BELOW
(10)
1. Children today live in a world where smartphones are ubiquitous. For them, access to
smartphones is natural and they are eager to have their own. There are many discussions about
the ideal age for children to have their first smartphone. Obviously, every child is different and
so are their circumstances. However, experts agree on the need for children to be mature and
understand the scope of what they have in their hand. Children must be able to understand the
dangers of sharing too many details of their life and personal data on the Internet.
2. They have to be aware that information published online remains publicly available and can
be easily found. Last but not the least; they need to understand that following good manners
matters; in other words, what in the online world is known as 'netiquette' is important Experts
usually agree on the fact that children may have reached the point of maturity necessary to
have their own smartphone around 11-12 years.
3. Nonetheless, mobiles will require parental supervision for many reasons: to protect children,
to teach them how to properly use smartphones to avoid possible problems and finally to take
responsibility for its eventual misuse. When looking at some statistics, we discovered from a
recent study that 56% of children between 10 and 13 years have a smartphone, but most
surprising is that 25% of children between 2 and 5 years also have one. Do kids need to have a
smartphone at such a young age?
4. In contrast, according to another survey, 25% of parents believe that a child under 12 years
must have a basic phone, 54% think that having a mobile phone is suitable for children between
13 and 15 years and 66% believe that children under 16 should not have a smartphone,
5. Among the advantages parents find in mobile phones for kids is that they can call their
parents in case of emergency. Many parents give their children a very basic feature phone
when they begin to walk home from school alone. But children ask their parents for a
smartphone because their classmates already have one. But smartphones are not for
socialising purposes only.
6. Children can learn a lot through their mobile, especially because, as parents, we teach them
to take advantage of mobile educational opportunities. The age at which kids should have their
own smartphone can be a difficult decision for parents, but you have to measure the
advantages and disadvantages in each particular case.
