In the digital age, threrethere is an arising concern about young adults spending several hours daily with mobile phone obssessivelyphones obsessively. In my opinion, there are a couple of reasons contributing to this issue, and my belief is that it is a detrimental trend overall, as it has numerous negative effects on children. With regard to the potential reasons why youth nowadaynowadays are so engaged with technology, specificaly specifically their smart phonessmartphones, I think the most significant reason would be their appealing characteristics. Youngsters regard this technology as a versatile object which they can do whatever they want with. With phones, they are able to do a variety of activities such as play games, contact with friends from all over the world, establish new friendships online, and even exploit itthem for their educational aspects. All of which, thus, make it a completely functinalfunctional and amusing device for people to use. Concernig it'sConcerning its effects, however, I imply that it could negatively harm teenagers in many ways. First and foremost, it restricts the social interactions. Teenagers nowadays doare not eager to socialize with others and enhance their social skills since they are being so involved with the virtual world of social media and feel no intention to make connectionconnections in person, and this is affecting their real interactioninteractions with people. LackThe lack of the ability to connect with others in real life consequently leads them to isolation, which is sovery harmful. Additionally, it also results in less physical activity. Spending too muchmany hours sitting and working with phones leaves no time for teenagers to be physically active, and that leads to several health problems in their future, such as obesity. In conclusion, I think the issue of children involvingengaging with technology is a pressing problem whichthat has devastating impacts upon youth, and there are a number of reasons relating to it, such as the compelling features of technology.

Coherence and Cohesion

  • Organization: The essay is well-organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Each paragraph has a clear main idea.
  • Cohesion: Transition words and phrases such as "With regard to," "First and foremost," and "Additionally" are used to connect ideas, but there are some areas where transitions could be smoother. For example, the transition between discussing the reasons and the effects could be more fluid.
