Disadvantages of using electronic devices

Parents think electronic devices can help their kids in study. However, I think preschool children can learn well without any electronic devices. And it is too danger to children because there are risks to them. Moreover, children’s body and brain are still developing. It will affect more to the children than adults.

AddictChildren addict easily when they like something. Nowadays electronic devices have a lot of function, such as drawing, playing games, taking photo… When children start to use them, they think this is so much fun when they use it. Over time, children addicts on electronic devices easily because they can’t self-control.

Kids can’t stop playing computer.

There is a case, about a toddler zone out with an iPad. His parents borrowed an iPad for him when he was 2 years old, because the toddler cried for four hours; they hope he can stop crying.  One year later, they bought an iPad for the kid. Soon, his parent noticed that he did not respond when they call him. He was concentrated on it.

There are signs when children addicts.

1. Withdrawal
   When parents take away the electronics devices from kids or stop them to use, they start to feel anxious or sad.
2. Loss of interest
   Children don’t want to do other activities, such as sports. They just want to use computer, tablet…

Less communication
Children focus on it, they don’t have enough time with other people. Little children need to interact with other people, build social skills, meet and talk to a new friend. These are important and good for them when they grow. But, they miss the chance with other people, it may make them don’t like talking with other people and have no friends.

Children focus on ipad. Their communication with parents and friends is less.

There was a case about two children. They was fighting when they were sitting in a restaurant. Suddenly, they were quiet because their parent gave two iPads to them.
” If people spend too much time with one technology, and less time interacting with people like parents at the dinner table, that could hinder the development of certain communications skills.” said Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. I think children need more opportunity to communicate with other people, not screen time.

Long term physical damage
According to Jessica Kartalija, a reporter, she reports doctors and therapists fear too much time on touchscreens could cause long-term damage. Parents think tablet, laptop can educate and stimulate their kids. However, doctors and therapists think too much screen time can hurt children developing bodies.
” If they are always on the iPad and not actually doing those paper pencil activities that they should still be doing, those muscles are going to remain weaker.” said therapist Lindsay Marzoil.

ELECTRONIC GADGET TO STUDENTS STUDYING HABITS Introduction In the year where electronic gadgets are not yet invented like computers, students are not yet engage in activities using technologies. Students rely on books and visit library facilities to study, read their notes and review their school lessons. During those years, despite the lack of computers and hi-tech gadgets students still achieve high and good grades and the students are still focused on their studies.
