The present day high-tech gear is just part of growing up in a digital world.
Nevertheless, one cannot deny that all these gadgets have become a part and parcel
of our daily lives. Besides, we have become highly dependent on these devices. This
is more so in the case of children. Their lives are completely ruled by these devices.

These devices have many benefits. They have made our lives easier and more
comfortable. They have made the world jump forward with a leap and build up a
glittering modern world. They have also opened innumerable avenues for the growth

of knowledge and have given a definite form to the wild imagination of man. They have
indeed revolutionised every sphere of life. But, on the other hand, the excessive interest
of children in these gadgets has made parents concerned and worried. Children
spend a great deal of time on these gadgets like video games, internet, cell phones,
etc. The parents feel that excessive use of these gadgets will definitely be destructive
for the children. This could also hamper their academic and social development. If

children are not checked, they would continue to waste time on these gadgets.
They will recline into their own high-tech shell. Thereupon, it will become very
difficult for parents to bring them out of this world. If these high-tech devices are

used in moderation, they can fulfill the purpose for which they have been invented.
