Gadget for Children

           Gadget is one of the latest technologies in this era. The gadget has been familiar with children, including my nephew. It has been needed positively helped my nephew in his daily life, especially when he looks for his assignment by searching in the Internet in his gadget. Yet, in my opinion, there are three negative effects that are felt for children: selfish, healthy, and addictive.

The first negative effect of gadget is selfish. Children become selfish because the gadgetwill prevent them from forming the normal social relationship and having activities with their friends. For example, muy nephew is playing hi gadget and he opens the Internet or his social media. He will not care about his social life although his parents ask him to do something. In addition, when he opens his social media, he will find some new friends through his social media. Thus, accessing social media excessively can make his mind up that friendship could be obtained through the Internet and forgetting his friends in real life. Finally, he becomes selfish because he assumes that the friendship can be obtained through social media in the Internet.

The second example of the negative effect of gadget fir children is their health, such as, sleep disorder, and dry eyes. The first is obesity. My nephew usually plays his gadget in a cough. It will make him hungry because he has played the gadget for several hours so he is lazy to move and unknowingly he begins to eat without moving an inch from the couch. The second is sleep disorder. He also has got sleep disorder because he plays the gadget for several hours even in the night until he sleeps late. Besides, as a child, he needs to sleep between ten to eleven hours every day. The third is dry eyes. He also got dry eyes by sitting in front of and staring at gadget for too long. This is one of main reasons why my nephew should not be given any gadget until he reaches a certain age.

The third negative effect of the gadet for children is addiction. My nephew seems that he cannot live without his gadget. He can spend seven to ten hours of the day to play game and the Internet at his gadget. He seems eager to leave shool to go home and get his fun back with his gadget. His parents have already tried to hide his gadget but my nephewcries and he does not want to stop until they give his gadget back. He also holds full grip on gadget game but at any other outdoor game. This is really a considerable issue attached with the future security of my nephew that is addict to gadget.

To sum up, gadgets have some negative effects that may threaten the future of the children. The first negative effect is the gadget can make the children selfish. The second negative effect is the gadget can affect the healthof children. The third negative effectis children can become addicted to gadgets. Thus, parens should control the use of the gadget for children to minimize the negative effects of the gadget.
