Do we really need them? Some people say they help them learn things. Is that because their teachers can't teach them?
They absolutely consume kids. Instead of being outside playing and getting excersize, they are cooped up inside playing on a little screen, their eyes blank, and brains dead.
I went to Queen Elizabeth Park in Uganda, and saw 4 kids sitting at a table overlooking a beautiful savanna, suddenly, a six year old starts yelling, "die, die, die!!!" at his screen. What is this world coming to?
Kids should be talking to their friends, using there actual voices, instead of texting to the people sitting right next to them.
I am 13 years old, and have lived happily my hole life without a mobile device.
If our parents and grandparents can do it, so can we!
