In the modern era, children are being pampered in such a way that they should own every new technology or gadget that is introduced in the market. Parents are labelling/calling their children princesses or princes. As for a typical chinese family, there's no more 'Ah boy' or 'Ah girl' anymore but their princesses or princes. Probably they would want to be more 'westernized' . That i'm not sure of but there is something that i am very sure off is almost every children that enters kindergarten, would want to own a mobile phone just to be 'cool' amongst their friends.
Even though they don't have it but among the whole group there is one kid that has it, they are bound to nag their parents for it. so, here we are asking, why do they need a mobile phone at that age? who are they suppose to call? i assume that their contact list would only consists of their parent's number and probably a hand full of their friends number. Even if they do call up their friends and talk to them, why is it so important to own a mobile phone then? well, it is not based on the importance of owning one but to be able to 'compete' or look 'cool' among their friends. And the only positive reason i can think of is that they are easily reached by their parents or just so they are not lost.
There are more negative things that i can think off. the radiation that the phone produces are very harmful to us users but to be exposed to it at such early age will definitely cause more health problems in future. Having something worth quite a bit will only attract strangers even more to rob them. They will also be easily distracted during learning classes because of a new gadget that they own. And face-to-face communication skills will never be developed as they will be too used to talking on the phone or using a new technology rather than the normal approach.
