We are in a generation of phones. This is the era where our children grow up to see phones every day of their lives and it doesn't take time for them to master everything in it. The first time I heard about phone I was almost thirty years and it sounded strange to me because I can't understand why I will be here talking and someone over there in another country will hear me.

The side effects of using our phones constantly can not be overemphasized. I have watched our generation carefully and discovered that we are gradually moving to the era of people using their phones 23 hours in a day and seven days in a week. People don't even care about the consequences.
I will want to focus my discussion on our youths. It is very bad to know what constant using of phones has done to our young people.
MANNERS
Our young people don't have manners again because of their phones. Most times when I walk pass a young person on the way, he or she will be busy pressing the handset on the way.
READING HABIT GONE
So many students do not read their books anymore because they feel they can get any answer through the Google or AI. It has helped us produced a very lazy generation. I remember when I was in my 400 level in university. I had a course mate that is always with his phones checking for the answer to any questions that the lecturer will ask in class. But when it came to exams he did not do well because there was no phone in the exam hall to help.
In conclusion, I believe that we need to always teach the younger ones the danger of always being with phone non stop. Even when they refuse to listen, we need keep doing so until they understand and make adjustments.
