Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘Let’s play’ DE July 31.
The author has lucidly highlighted the harmful effects of sticking to electronic gadgets and gizmos by children. Though these children have become tech savvy, and can use these gadgets efficiently, they are slowly getting slowly isolated in society.
Socially these children do not mix up with guests, and usually avoid them on one pretext or other. At the same time, it hinders their growth physically, as they do not take part in recreational activities. These children remain susceptible to many diseases, besides becoming obese. Even being constantly reminded of effects of harmful radiation emitting from cell phones, children hardly bother about these. The selfic trend is also catching up with these children at a quick pace. It is really a fatal attraction unless parents remain strict with children on these counts, children will get addicted to these gadgets, and remain vulnerable to ailments and other effects.
Yours etc….
