This is the era of science and technology. It has become a part of our life. Everyday we are using it. It is making our work more convenient. But it has its negative as well as positive aspects. Technologies and innovation are to make our work easier and more convenient. In my view cell phones are not bad for kids. It helps kids to spend time. It can also entertain the kids like: the kids watch youtube, tiktok , e.t.c or play games on it. If kids use cellphones in an educational way or purpose the cell phone can become a teacher for kids. The cell phone as a whole totally is not bad for kids. Cell phones can be harmful if kids spend more time playing. Cell phones are easy to use and they are easily portable. When I was a kid I did not know how to properly use a cell phone. But today, every kid knows how to play and use cell phones. You can easily do whatever you want to do in cell phones. For those people who think that cellphones are bad for kids and it will hamper the study of kids, in this lockdown kids are using cell phones for their study and for online classes. It depends on the kid how much time they spend on playing with cell phones. If he is spending more time on cell phones. It will obviously hamper kids' study but they can easily take the cell phone as a device where they can get knowledge. By watching educational videos the kids can improve their skills, study and can learn many new things which will help them in them. Kids are learning various new things by using cell phones. Cell phones have both positive and negative effects.
It depends on how the parents control the habits of kids to play with cell phones. If the parents would not control the time to play the cell phones of kids it will directly hamper them. By overwatching the cell phone screen it can directly affect their eyes with harmful blu rays. By watching the cell phone overtime it can directly affect the mental health of kids. So they need to take a break and walk a bit and then they can play. The internet may become harmful for kids. Many kids as well as adults die due to cell phones. In many cases like playing games, taking photos, and making videos you should be careful. And you need to delete all the social media apps from cell phones. Social media may be addictive or harmful for kids. But It is on a user how the user uses it. Lastly, a cell phone has its own negative and positive effects. It depends on a user how he/she uses it. Parents should control their kids' habit of playing with cell phones.
