Because mobile phones have today a lot of features and they are not just devices made for communication between people. A negative effect of these gadgets on students can be the fact that they can become obsessive and the students can neglect everything else, like their social life, their family and friends. Is not a bad thing to have a computer, but is a bad thing to spend all your life in front of it pretending that everything else doesn’t exist.

Nowadays, we can easily found children as young as two years old are playing with an electronic devices and gadgets anywhere. As students head back to school with the latest tablets, laptops and smart phones in their knapsacks, some parents worry the abundance of gadgets in their children's lives could be affecting their grades and health. President of Early Childcare and Education Council (ECCE Council) Prof Datuk Dr Chiam Heng Keng said television should never be used as "babysitters" or "educational" tools. "Scientific studies by neuroscientists have shown that for 100 billion neurons (brain cells) to be wired to form neural paths, a young child needs to interact with human beings and things in their environment. In 2010, a joint study by Ohio State University and Open University of the Netherlands surveyed 219 students and found a relationship between Facebook use and negative academic performance. It found Facebook users had GPAs in the 3.0 to 3.5 range and studied one to five hours a week; non Facebook users had GPAs in the 3.5 to 4.0 range and studied 11 to 15 hours a week. Gadgets also affect health of the kids. According to the Active Healthy Kids Canada 2012 report card, 10- to 16-year-olds get an average of 6 hours and 37 minutes of daily non-class work screen time.

...text-messaging during the funeral of one of my high school students. Then, our school had its first play in three years. Throughout the audience, parents' faces were aglow as they text-messaged throughout their children's performances. Mostly, I was a bear about electronic devices in class. Even during the worst of our school's gang-related violence, my students kept their cell phones out of sight and usually out of mind. Periodically, though, we would be working and I would see several students start to sneak a peak at their phones. Then we would hear shouting in classrooms and the halls and there would be a stampede of students, including mine, to a fight. I also saw the same thing in the gym. I would be playing ball with my students during my planning period and, all of a sudden, students from across the school and adults from the neighborhood would rush towards a brawl. Had our school been able to prevent abuses of the new technology, I believe, another of my former students would be alive today. On the other hand, when students needed to take a call during class, they knew I would not question their word. If a student asked to step outside to answer their phone, my response was "of course." If a kid made simple eye contact and pointed to a phone, I would just nod, and the student would handle business and then return to work. One year, I had such a small class load that the same policy was extended to electronic music. The students knew each other, they knew that a few of their friends...

Half of them said they used them to play educational games such as spelling quizzes. Other uses include surfing the Internet and social networking. Personally,i am not against gadget usage among children,but having said that, we all as parents should aware that its usage should be done with moderation. Children should be supervised and there should be rules on 'how much' time can be spent on gadgets per day. There are always risks involved if the children misuse or use it without supervision and limitation.
