Introduction :

Mobile phones are a common feature among the new generation. Not only for communication purposes but other productive applications of mobile phones are also increasing rapidly with its advancement in technology. However, there is a price that the new generation of people has to pay for missing out on their childhood days.

 

We'll talk about the adverse effects of mobile phones on the teen generation. It's about our future generation, so everyone should realize what's going on and how it's hurting our children!

 

In the present day, many people are using mobile phones and it has become a trend for the new age generation. However, due to the excessive use of mobile phones, it is bothering them a lot. They tend to spend more time on their mobiles that they forget to study and do their homework.

 

Are you that mobile phone-obsessed person? You might go silent on being asked this. But the truth is you get addicted to your mobile phone so much that it has become a part of your body structure. Your hand starts looking for your mobile phone, even if the battery is down.

 

As per the stats, over 65% of people are using the internet and searching on mobile. This is really a big leap in technology. But what about the generation which is grown with these technologies? The new generation of this era is more inclined towards texting and social media than talking to each other. Some studies confirm that the use of technology is disturbing children's sleep patterns and other biological functions like puberty and growth.

 

Mobile phones may just be the single most significant technology that has ever come into our lives. It has now become an important social and commercial necessity in our daily life. But, are they really a necessity? How important are they to us? Are they indispensable or simply convenient? We may consider these questions at a later stage of this article.

 

With the recent surge of mobile phones and technology, there has also been a surge in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses among children. A Common Sense Media survey of teachers, parents and students found that 8% of teenagers watching TV, movies, or videos on computers reported symptoms of ADHD. That's twice as many as reported such symptoms in 2000.

 

Cell phones are handheld mobile devices that allow ease of communication and of access to information. Two kinds of phone services dominate the industry:

1)Analog phones, typically limited to talking,

2)And Digital cell phones can contain a multitude of other features, such as cameras or mobile apps.

Brief Description About Mobile Phones In New Generation:

How Mobile phones are affecting the new generation badly:

 

Mobile Phone Radiation Effects on Brain

Mobile phones have become a necessity of life. A mobile phone is a small, portable, and wireless device that allows you to receive and make calls, send text messages, surf the internet, operate media files, and stay connected with other people through social networking platforms. Mobile phones are available in all price ranges from basic devices to smartphones. It is an inevitable device for everyone regardless of age group, gender, and class.

 

The small mobile phone has become a need for everyone. It is used by teenagers for entertainment purposes as well as for their studies. With the increase in the use of mobile phones, it is important to discuss the disadvantages that cell phones have on today’s youth.

Negatives of Cellphones

1. Health Issues

- The use of cellphones causes cancer, tumors, and impotency due to radiation waves emitted from the device.

- It can result in distraction while driving and can cause accidents.

2. Psychological Problems

- It can lead to psychological issues such as depression in teenagers if they spend too much time using their mobile devices instead of playing outdoors or meeting their friends in real life. This can also lead to stress among teenagers who keep checking their messages even while.

Our minds can't focus on two things at once. When you try to do two things at the same time, your brain cannot perform both tasks successfully.

 

In fact, recent studies have shown that text messaging and other cell phone use while driving pose a similar hazard as driving drunk.

 

The New York Times reports that texting while driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than driving while intoxicated.

 

Nowadays all people use mobile phones. We don't have to go to our friends' or relatives' houses to talk to them. We can make a call, send an SMS or talk on Skype. Mobile phones are very convenient, but they also help us kill time. It's hard to imagine how we lived without them in the past.

I would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of using a mobile phone.

The main advantage of mobile phones is that you can communicate whenever you want. If you're at home, you can make a call, send an SMS or even use social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. You can also talk on Skype with your friends and family members who live in other cities and even countries. Besides, you can call your friends when you're driving a car and ask for directions. For some people, it's much easier than trying to find their way through a paper map!

 

Another advantage is that you can play different kinds of games on your phone - from simple puzzles to action games. You'll never get bored while waiting in line or on the bus when you have your phone with you!

 

Mobile phones also help us access information faster than ever before. If you need to find something but don't have an Internet connection at home you won't able to search for anything.

So, how can mobile devices be bad for your child? . let's find out the answers to this Question. Let’s take a look at the most common negative effects of mobile phones:

1.  Mobile phones are the major cause of distraction among children and teenagers. In recent research by Pew Research Center, it was found that about 75% of teen cell phone owners use their phones during school hours. Furthermore, around 17% of these teens admit that they have been in trouble with their teachers due to using cell phones in class without permission.

2.  Mobile phones foster a lack of social interaction among children and teenagers. With the advent of mobile messaging apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook messenger it is now easier than ever to communicate with your friends and family members.

3.  Mobile phones allow children to access inappropriate content online, including pornography and adult websites.*

4.  Children and young people are also subject to cyberbullying via mobile phones.

5.  Mobile phones can become addictive for children and teenagers. This addiction can be caused by video games or social media apps like Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook.

6.  Some children may not get enough exercise because they spend too much time on their mobiles.

 

The bad impacts of mobile phones are very serious. The most common problem is that if the person is talking on his mobile phone while driving then it can cause a fatal accident. People are also getting addicted to mobile phones and they do not want to talk to anyone face to face. It is like a disease which is called nomophobia and people who are facing this issue is getting serious problems in their life.

 

People are using mobile phones for doing their personal work and for entertainment purposes, but it has increased the use of social media which has affected society badly. There are many cases of committing or killing a crime just because you discussed it on social media sites such as WhatsApp and Facebook. This has become a major problem for the police as well.

 

Social media has also affected students studying in schools and colleges because they are very active on social media, whether it is Facebook or WhatsApp, but all these things are distracting them from their studies, as a result, their results have badly affected which would affect them later in their life.

 

The biggest disadvantage of mobile phones is that they can distract the students because they become more interested in playing games, chatting with friends, etc., but this distracts them from their studies which affect them in the future.

Mobile phones are affecting the new generation badly. This is because of the following:

1.  They have become addicted to their phone. They use them when they are studying, eating, and even in the toilet.

2.  They are addicted to games on their phone

3.  They spend a lot of time on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp

4.  The battery life on the phone does not last long enough so people need to charge their phones multiple times a day

5.  Their eyesight is not good and it is difficult for them to see things properly.

 

It has been found that the new generation is dependent on mobile phones and the internet which has affected their bodies, health, personality, and their study. We must control this tendency or it will affect us badly in the future.

 

I conclude that cell phones cause a lot of stress for people and it is shown in the growing statistics regarding the suicide rate. Mobile phones should be used more responsibly, which I believe might help the new generation to become less stressed.
