Select a child or gadget?

In modern times like today, we are not separated with the name gadgets. In fact we often say and hear the term gadget. In its development, gadgets have an extension of meaning. Now the gadget is not only defined as (physical form) electronics, but it has evolved its meaning in (visual form) software. But the meaning is still the same, which is a feature to facilitate human activities.

Gadgets have now become a necessity that can not be separated from the daily activities of its users. Users from children to adults. Despite having a positive impact, but using the gadget is too excessive will also cause negative effects. At this time the word gadget addiction can not we give to the teenagers but also to parents now, especially for parents who have small children.

Chen Yu from Indiana University said,

"Children who are cared for by parents where parents are more often focused on gadgets or smartphones will make children vulnerable to various problems. The problem may be intelligence, interaction and social problems, focus problems and speech problems."

More dangerous, children who grow and grow with parents who often ignore it because of the influence of smartphones have a higher accident rate. It could be, this child will also grow and develop into children who are less confident, less focused and less well maintained. Add Yu Chen in a research of 100 people questionnaires about 73.2% of people have often seen parents who are more concerned about his gadgets than his son, and about 81.7% of people have watched videos of parents negligence of gadget users to their children. This is one example of the impact parents are more concerned with his gadgets than his son.

The video is uploaded by instagram account @indozone.id, in the video description the child is 2.5 years old and his hand is wedged in the elevator when the mother is engrossed in the mobile phone. In the video turned out to be the child's hand is attached to the wall of the elevator so when the elevator door is open, the child's hand also carried along with this recording can be a lesson for parents to focus more on their children than on their gadgets.
