Usage of cell phones by young children

i think 6 is a little young to have a cell phone. it just seems that kids just aren't kids anymore, they are mini adults.

Yes of-course but, the main think that usually people will ignore is the amount of radiation that each mobile phone is emitting. And also how its going to effect the small human brains and their bodies. let us see in the near future

yes present days kids are more advanced and they have advanced technology in hand even I see kids these days taking snaps ,playing games,even downloading games from internet on mobile phones I think its the present environment and technology thats making them more advanced ........

yes same with my experience today when iam in public transportation, a elementary school student (i guest her age not only 10 years old) and bring Blackberry oh my God..its expensive gadget for them and i dont think she needs it in her age.. but i dont know every parents had a different reason, why they buy expensive gadget for their kids

Hi ravisivan: I don't feel surprised actually. My little cousin already knows some computer things and now that they are more in touch with technology their skills are being developed quicker which is really good as long as we conciliate this with other activities that are good for them, for example, practising a sport.

Yes sir, my friend's 3 years old daughter is using her mom's mobile phone to play games. And whenever she comes in front of the computer to use it, my friend could not actually properly chat and use it because her daughter is operating it. And she knows how to go to facebook, youtube and games sites. For a 3-year old we find it amazing that she knows how to use the mouse too and navigate the site. She asked for help only when she don't know what to do.

no surprise friend. of course fourth generation is more intelligent than third one. in coming days even you can't imagine future generation will be worn full of hands with mobile and other advanced gadgets that time.

Well, my daughter is nine years old and my son is five years old and they have both figured out how to do things with my phone that I've never been able to figure out on my own. With that said, I do think that the children of today are a lot more intelligent than children were in the past. However, I think that these advances in knowledge have also resulted in some loss of innocence that children in years past had.

Ravi bhaiya My grind daughters in Hyderabad, read in one convent school, the elder is 12 yrs young, she is given a cell phone to contact home, if there is any problem in school bus.. Well my granddaughter Subhee is just 3, but she can operate laptop so well using her fingers, though i need a mouse, the present day kids are certainly advanced.. All they need is better guidance.. Best of luck. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

I don't believe they are more intelligent. They just have technical options available to them that we didn't as children. I'm sure if this technology was the same during our childhood, we would be just as savvy. Best Wishes!

hello ravisivan, In our year's all people's even they are young or old, all people's they can used a cell phones and they know how to operate because the cell phones are important to us, so even young they know how text and call or simple they know about the usage of cell phones.

For sure the coming young generation kids are way sharper and smarter than how much we are and they know more about the gadgets and technology well. But my main concern is, where does these kids stand when it comes to house, family and relationships. I am recently noticing a lot of kids, who never respect any elders or even their own friends. The main reason is, they have this sort of the attitude problem. Just because they know about the technology, they fail to respect the elders who do not know the same. This is not where we should be travelling. In a way, it is a great thing to see kids being so sharp, at the same time it is indeed disheartening to see no values and respect in the society.
