Mobile phones among teenagers


   Mobile phones, or now also called smartphones, have supposed a key breakthrough in technology. This particularly innovated electronic gadget has affected and changed the lifestyle of most young people in many aspects.

    Nowadays it is not difficult to find any teenager using the mobile phone, since now everybody has one. In addition, broadband connections, which allow them to go on-line more quickly, are widely available everywhere (at restaurants, at any station or even inside buses). This let teens be communicated all time, above all though social networks. Likewise, they can download all kinds of applications to do great variety of things: from playing a game to watching a film.

     But, are all these facilities really nice for young people? They are believed that smartphones are very useful and entertaining, and they are right, in contrast most of them have become very addicted and do not know how take control; they are completely absorbed in their phones. As a result of this, they will not develop correctly their communicative abilities and the physical contact with real people, especially if they begin to use them from childhood. Moreover, its continued use is harmful to health. 

    Due to the fact that teen are so connected to smartphones, we should take serious measures. For instance, an idea would be to establish a limited connection per day on our phones so that we cannot access or Internet or any app when this period of time ends. Besides, parents should be aware of their their children can make a misuse of them. Therefore, they do not have to let their kids spend all the day using these gadgets either they navigate websites alone.

   Overall, I wish everybody think a bit about this great problem that is influencing in the whole world. I am not saying that I am against smartphones, only I would like that children take advantage the time in other more important items.
