What Baba Venga, who was famous for her accurate predictions around the world, seems to be proved to be true in today’s era. He imagined the time when humans would depend to such an extent on technology that it would start harming his mental and physical health. In today’s time, when there is a smartphone in every hand, it seems that everything about them is gradually becoming a reality.
smartphone convenience or crisis?
The smartphone was initially designed to make people’s lives easier, but now this device has become the root of many problems. Especially its effect in children and adolescents is very worrying. Recently, a study conducted by the National Child Rights Protection Commission (NCPCR) has revealed shocking facts.
According to this study, about 24% of children use mobile just before sleeping. This directly affects their sleep, ability to meditate and studies. Due to lack of sleep, there is a lack of irritability, tiredness and concentration in children.
rising mental problems
Excessive use of smartphones is not only sleeping, but also damage to mental health. Children and adolescents are increasing mental problems like angel (restlessness), depression (depression) and lack of attention. By spending more time on the screen, they neither play properly, nor are they able to spend time with family and friends.
The ability to think weak
Keeping an eye on the screen continuously affects the brain. This not only weakens memory, but also reduces the ability to solve the problem. Doubling in studies and decline in academic performance are part of similar symptoms.
friendship with technology is necessary, but in the extent
The use of technology is not completely wrong. But when its use turns into addiction, it becomes harmful. The danger that Baba Venga pointed to it is now in front. We will have consciousness in time, otherwise the future of the coming generations can be lost in this digital world.
Now is the time that parents, teachers and society together focus on this serious issue and make children aware for a balanced use of smartphones. Otherwise, the technique which made life easier can become our biggest problem later.
