At the same time, a survey conducted in India has revealed that 59.2% of children in the country use smartphones for messaging apps. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has conducted a study on the mobile use of children. This revealed that only 10.1% of children are using smartphones for online learning or education. According to the study, 30.2% of children have their own smartphones. 37.8% of 10-year-olds have a Facebook account. 24.3% of children of the same age have an Instagram account.
The study said that after the age of 13, the trend of children using their own smartphone is increasing. However, the number of children using laptops/tablets for Internet access remains constant across ages. This suggests that parents prefer to give smartphones to their children after 12-13 years of age than laptops or tablets.
Apart from bread, cloth, and house, mobile phone is also a basic requirement for communication. But it is believed that excessive use of anything is harmful to our health, the phone is also one of them. People use mobiles to listen to songs, send messages and run the Internet, but according to a survey, the number of people who talk on the phone for a long time is very high, due to which our health is being negatively affected. In such a situation, we should use anything according to the need, because too much is harmful to anyone.
