Almost everyone has a cellphone, kids younger than I was when I first got my phone are having iPhone's and iPad's. All this new technology advancing is making children more lazy I believe, because more kids now that have this advancing phones are playing games on their phones, their parents are downloading and buying apps for their children. The children waste their times playing on their cellphones that they rarely ever go outside to play, we now have the Xbox and other video games that keep them entertained, but is that really what we need?
Children soon won't ever want to leave their t.v's, and we wonder why so many children are obese and it's because kids aren't outside running around loosing all of their weight they gain from eating, instead they are laying around and slowing down their metabolism increasing their chance to become obese. Children need to become more active throughout their lives, by fishing, hunting, and getting bruises. They say cellphones have taken over this century and I believe it has, so as for video games too. They both have and equal play in the new technology we have.
You can hand anyone a cellphone and they can just text and text, but when a pencil is handed to some children they just go blank they have had that technology throughout their lives so much they rely on it to provide it for them, the spell check, the internet access when they need it, and also the calculator provide on their phones for equations. Almost everything is handed to them nothing earned, but what does this teach them about life what are we preparing them for. As I see most children rely on their cell phones to do everything for them. My first cell phone was a razor flip phone it was hot pink and you could never do as much as you could on that compared to an iPhone.
Cell phones are advancing as well as video games and computers, I just hope that are generation is ready for it and is mature enough to handle it, as it will keep advancing throughout our lives. Children are becoming lazy and as the technology advances I hope children will be given a chance to go out and play and stop staying cooped up inside with their games.
