Debate - Do teens require smart phones

Your smart phone has already replaced your camera, your television and now your family also. I hope my dear friends, you have already understood my today's topic of debate. Respected Principal, reverent judges, worthy teachers and all my dear friends, a very cheerful morning to all of you.  Today, I am going to express my opinion on a topic: 'Should teens be provided mobiles.' And I will speak against the motion.

August audience, it is well known to us that mobile phones creates a lot of trouble for our society and because of it we all are living a life of zombies. And if we will not confine its use then definitely our prospective human resources will be dilapidated desperately.

Nowadays, many children are provided with mobile phones since early ages in order to, according to some parents, keep in contact with their parents when they are out home. But, *are we aware of the risks that new smartphones have?* As I see it, new technologies and children should be controled by adults as far as it is possible.

*My main reason to think this is a psychological reason.* Young children are not able to understand the risks and problems that smarthones can produce. Children want to be as their classmates, to be in fashion. Managing a smartphone with its characteristics is a difficult task which requires maturity.

Another reason is internet and its wide world connection. It is a well-known fact that loading photos to internet means lose your privacy. When a picture is loading in known social networks as Facebook, it is imposible to know where the picture ends up.

*Many people including my opponents argues that children today need to carry mobile phones so their parents are be able to locate them at any time.* Moreover, they say that having a rechargable card is a good way to control the spent money by children. I can be agree with that, children today go out more than us in the past, and it is a good way to know where they are but don't you think that the continuous contact of mobile phones can also harm their brain tissues and it can also lead them towards mental retardedness.

Do you want your wards to be mentally retarded!

For monitoring children we can adopt certain other measures except mobile phones.

To sum up, I strongly believe that we should teach our children about the new technologies´risks. From schools and homes we have to talk with them about it. New technologies emerged to improve our life quality, from the knowledge they can fulfill their designated purpose but it should not be at the cost of their own health. And moreover there is no need to let them be provided the mobile phones as it bleaks their concentration power.
