Using devices with a bright lit screen at a young age can cause permanet damage to a child's eyesight. Even though they may be used for educational purposes, staring a screen for hours every day is not a healthy habit. Children will become accustomed to living in front of screen and think that they need a screen in order to survive one day. Social media can also be a dangerous path for them to fall into at such a young age. With hundreds of pictures posted daily and several videos/articles/quotes being posted about how someone should behave or what the perfect is, can cause irreversible physiological damage to a child's brain. There are also many dangerous people who use the internet that can hide behind a fake identity to target young people. If kids are going to use a smartphone or tablet then parental locks need to be placed, they should only use the device for thirty minutes or less, and parents need to monitor what their child is doing online. Any social media accounts need to be kept on private. Children should also be aware of the risks and dangers of the internet.
