The education sector, specifically after COVID-19 has made everyone depend on the internet and usage of various devices that cater to this sector. Not only teenagers and adults but also the younger ones, studying in school.

In true light, it is not their fault to begin with. The regular online classes, homework on groups via WhatsApp, and the need to use the internet for information have made it customary to incorporate such devices and their facilities in their daily lives.

On continuing such habits, it can lead to the following consequences:

Health Issues: It involves both physical and mental health. Children stay indoors and are busy with these electronic devices which prevents them from going out and doing more physical activities. This can lead to posture problems, and eye strains due to eye strain. This can also lead to anxiety, depression, and various other issues.

Social Issues: Children can struggle with having social conversations, building relationships, and having one-on-one conversations with people.

Academic Issues: Mobile phones can be distractive and addictive. It can lead to an effect on the study schedules and problems in concentrating while doing homework and not being able to focus.

To curb these consequences, one can set rules and limits on the usage of phones. Focus on indoor as well as outdoor activities. Make the phone time more meaningful by viewing more educational content. These can surely help children to have a balance in their lives.
