The bad impact smartphone affected children

Since when did you start to have smartphone? I have had it since freshman of high school but now, most of junior high school students have smartphone in my country.(How about America?) Most of time, they live in the world of SNS. I started to wonder how much it has an impact on children to use SNS so today I would like to introduce about it. I found a Japanese article which is written about 5 bad impacts on children by using SNS for a long time so I am going to talk about it.

     First thing is that they are likely to be "smartphone addiction". Smartphone addiction is that you cannot stop using a smartphone because you use it too long time. Many people suffer from this because we have so many things to use smartphone, for instance; snapchat, twitter, Instagram, youtube and Netflix. These things let us keep using smartphone so we tend to be smartphone addiction. If you become this, it will be difficult to focus on one thing,studying and working.

Next concern is eye sight. If you use smartphone too much, your eyes sights will become getting worse and worse. The reason why it happens is that you do not blink while using smartphone and also  because of blue light. It is bad for your eye sight to keep exposing blue light more than 30 minutes. You should take a rest when you use smartphone or laptop. Once your eye sight got weak, it is very difficult to get better.

Next, the risk of declining communication skill become high. The reason is clear though, the time to have conversation with people decline. The more you use smartphone, the more you feel that you do not want to have conversation with people. And also it makes us difficult to understand what people think and feel.

Next concern is "electromagnetic wave". This has possibility to cause disease because it oxidize our bodies and also it affects on our autonomic nerves so it is bad for body and mind.

And last thing is it leads "sleeping problem" and "poor concentration and memory". If it happens, you will be sleepy for whole day and you will not be efficiency and productivity in work. Then you may start to feel "I am not good enough." or "I am not good at studying". It makes you feel so bad and you will start to feel depression so do not use smartphone too much.

Young generation is too immature to restrict the time using it so their parents should manage how long and when they can use smartphone. When I have my children, I will give them smartphone when they are 13 years old and control their time using it.
