Children and Cell Phones...


Ok, so recently kids have been on my heart so they are who I am talking about. Today's children know how to use technology at the age of 5. Children such as 7 years old are walking around with their own cell phones. It is not a bad thing for kids to have. In today's society there are mean evil people and kids might get into situations were they will need to use a phone. So all that is good. However it seems that they are letting cell phones get in their way of their schooling. Most schools even colleges are banning cell phones. Some colleges for example Montreat College ask their college students to turn the cell phones off while they are in class. Which this is not a bad thing. We as students need to pay attention and class. We come to learn not socialize during class or ignore what they teacher is saying.

However I do think little kids at that age should not be able to have access to their cell phones at all times. It is not just going to take away from their time in school but if they are are texting their little friends at home the will not get their work done. As Christians God doesn't want us to fall in the conformity s of the world. Cell phones and other types of technology can take over our minds and pull us away from God. Now I am not calling technology items from Satan, but I am just saying that we need to remember God blessed us with these awesome forms of technology and we need to still set time away from all that and thank him for what he has done. So we need to remember to teach our kids that there is more in the world than cell phones and computers.Get your kids or siblings to go outside, enjoy God's wonderful nature!
