Excessive use of gadgets negatively affects
children’s health. For instance, prolonged exposure to
the screen causes eye strain. Children experience dry,
itchy and irritated eyes when they spend hours using the
computer, tablet or cellular phone. Too much use of
gadgets also changes sleeping patterns of kids who play
games or surf the internet late into the night. Studies
reveal that exposure to tech gadgets changes brain
activity that disturb sleep patterns. Reports also show
that too much use of gadgets cause obesity. Many
children do not wish to go out anymore because they
enjoy playing games in their devices. The problem is that
they do engage in physical activities anymore, so they
end up obese. With these negative effects, education
experts advise parents to regulate or control gadget use.
