a) Reduces learning outcomes: -
Nowadays, many children bring phones to class so as to chat with
friends or play games during class. This leads to children not paying
attention in class, missing important lessons and consequently being
ignorant about studying and taking exams. -
Children can stay up late to talk with friends, play games or scroll
through social networks, which will cause fatigue and restlessness,...
affecting the quality of learning.
b) Passive communication:
Phone use can reduce or replace person-to-person interaction. We are
witnessing a decrease in the time and quality of human interaction as
people increasingly spend more time using technology. Meanwhile,
collaboration and interaction skills are one of the five most important
skills for workers in this era.
c) Risk of brain cancer:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized that: "Mobile
phone radiation can cause cancer in humans." It is worth mentioning
that children are able to absorb more than 60% of that radiation into the
brain (more than adults). A baby's skin, tissue and bones absorb twice as
much radiation as an adult. about:blank 2/3 16:26 9/8/24
Adventages AND Disadvantages OF Smartphone
d) Poor eyesight, eye diseases: -
Surfing social networks, texting, playing games, watching movies...
are common hobbies of young people when using smartphones.
However, smartphones can make young people sit still for hours and
forget about social activities or direct communication with people around them. -
If this condition persists for a long time, it can seriously damage the
"window to the soul" of nearsighted people. Many young people,
when meeting each other, often prefer to stare at their phones rather
than talk in person. According to research by the World Health
Organization, just using technology devices for 3 hours/day will
increase the risk of eye diseases, especially screen vision syndrome,
causing blurred vision, fatigue, dryness, lack of concentration,
susceptible to increased myopia.
