RE: The children of today: Have smartphones destroyed a generation? Part I

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Very very well put ! I must agree .. most people these days can not even go a second without their phone , I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but it seems to get harder to have a face to face conversation. I did not have a phone until I was 16, now I see 6-7 year old kids who have phones , the generations are changing . And I think it's bad for kids to have such influence at such a young age . Your story was really nice , and I can relate to it so much . Yes , it does help to search for an answer fast , make a call, I just feel like if we use t for the right purposes , then it's fine . Just not sit on it all day , on social media , playing games , etc. progress your life without phones . Times are changing , phones are everything to people now

I totally agree and I think this topic is so important for you because of your soon to be born child! You should be aware of friends having smartphones at a young age, do you want to give your child the same? Do you want to keep him/her away until your child reached a specific age? Control is the way to say it. There are so many positive things about smartphones IF YOU USE IT RIGHT! Should we teach the younger generation how to handle a smartphone ? Would this be useful.... I think there is much more to talk about in part of this series

There could be a never ending conversation over technology . Control is important and if it's done from the start , it's much better . I feel like I can breath without a phone . Last year when I was in Pakistan , I lived without any phone , wifi , laptop for 5 months and literally I felt like a human again . Technology destroys life

Yes we have become more and more addicted to it...I think using smart phone is not bad but addicted to it is bad..we should not be slave of technology !! ((have a look at my post too Having The iPhone But Missing The I
