We are living in the era of gadgets and smartphones, and communication has never been so easy; with social media, we’re always connected to our friends and millions of other people, no matter where we are. All we need is a smartphone with an internet connection. Mobile phones have become part of our daily lives and besides communication, we have available a vast variety of apps that can make our daily life a lot easier. Though the cost of app development is rising, the number of apps in app stores is increasing. Some of these apps had been optimized for mobile apps stores so that we can find them easier. While there are some advantages to using it properly, there are also many disadvantages and side effects of misusing it. The Internet and mobile phones are a world that requires a great deal of caution and caution. For young untrained children, mobile phones are a deadly and poisonous substance. With a single click on the mobile phone, our youngsters get caught in the mire of evils where there is no way back for them. No one wants to come. And the tragedy of today is that even a ten-year-old child here has become accustomed to mobile phones and the Internet. The serious consequences of which we are witnessing, one of the major consequences of which is that our children are living in religious and conventional education and seem to be moving away from it day by day.
The Coronavirus epidemic has also emerged as a poison for our youth, not only physically but also spiritually. Our schools have now shifted from the offline mode to the online system, forcing the poor fathers of our society to take care of their children’s education and buy a smart phone. And then the same son or daughter covers the good wishes of the same poor father and walks towards evils. And finally, there comes a time when this young man no longer feels ashamed to do evil while using his mobile phone. There must be more losses than that:
(1) Educational Disadvantage: The majority of mobile phone users are young. And most of them are also involved in education when these same youngsters enjoy their life on the internet all night long and get up in the morning to go to school, college and university where they face many difficulties due to misuse of mobile phones. Among them are sleep deprivation, headaches, feeling heavy, irritability and his brain which should be towards the class. Towards things, these things inevitably affect his education and as a result, this young man says goodbye to education forever.
2) Increase in obscenities and evils: Unnecessary use of mobile phones must increase obscenities and evils in society. It reduces anxiety, stress, and lack of exercise which leads to many health problems.
3) Economic loss: Mobile phone is used as an ostentatious show and in this case, no one is willing to compromise with anyone. Everyone, rich or poor, buys mobile phones more than any other and this becomes a source of economic loss in society. And it has a devastating effect on those who live around them or gets in their way and ruins the whole environment.
Parents will be held responsible for all this. Parents are requested to pay special attention to the training of their children and pay 100% attention to their children so that good quality youth can be born in the society. We are in a fantastic era of mobile technology, and it is exciting to watch it unfold. It’s fun to wonder what the next tablet or phone might be like and what capabilities it might have, but that’s just a little stuff. The improvements that are appearing in our daily lives, and society in general, are what really matters. It is bringing the world closer together — a truly amazing situation. We may not be able to live without our phones but we can take steps now to reduce the negative effects of this addiction. One way is by reducing the time spent on your phone and trying to communicate face-to-face instead of relying on your phone for every small task, so you can focus on what really matters in life.
