What baba Venga, who was famous for her accurate predictions all over the world, had said years ago, seems to be proving true in today's era. She had imagined a time when humans would become so dependent on technology that it would start harming their mental and physical health. In today's time when there is a smartphone in every hand, it seems that everything she said is slowly becoming a reality.
Smartphone convenience or crisis?
Smartphones were initially made to make people's lives easier, but now this device has become the root of many problems. Its effect is very worrying, especially in children and adolescents. Recently, a study conducted by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (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 concentrate and studies. Due to lack of sleep, children are seen to be irritable, tired and lack of concentration.
Increasing mental problems
Excessive use of smartphones is not only harming sleep but also mental health. Mental problems like anxiety, depression and lack of attention are increasing among children and adolescents. By spending too much time on the screen, they are neither able to play properly nor spend time with family and friends.
Weakening ability to think and understand
Constantly staring at the screen also affects the brain. This not only weakens the memory, but also reduces the ability to solve problems. Lack of concentration in studies and decline in academic performance are part of such symptoms.
