 A gadget is an often small mechanical or electronic device with a practical use

but often thought of as a novelty (Merriam Unabridged Dictionary, 2015). In todays

life, we try to maximize our tasks within an allotted time. We are able to accomplish

our daily tasks with the use of gadgets. Furthermore, we are also able to do our work

efficiently and systematically. We are not even dare to think our life without smart

phones, cell phones, laptops, tablets, ipad and so on. Indeed, these gadgets really

bring us a huge influence in our lives and we are becoming overwhelmingly

dependent on gadgets nowadays. Is this independence on gadgets a good thing or

should we be more suspicious of their benefits?

First of all, gadgets can be used as learning tool and communication tool. The

process of learning has become a part in our lives. Modern gadgets like ipad or
laptop help us to take the notes just only by photographing or videoing from our

lecturer instead of using our own hand to copy the notes. Some lecturer even send

the notes through the e-mail to their students. We are easily to get the online

eduaction through using the modern gadgets. For example, Youtube has provide lots

of teaching courses and we can learn these courses online. Moreover, the modern

gadgets can improve the communication between each other. Modern gadget has

blessed us with advanced communication gadget tools. For instant, e-fax machines,

mobile phones, smart phones, instant text messaging applications and others. We

can contact with our family members who are in overseas or even our friends to

discuss the homework.

Furthermore, the modern gadgets have become a recreation tool to us. The

modern gadgets can improve entertainment in our lives. For instant, television has

many programmes and we can watch it when we are bored. We can watch online

movies and listen to the music through the social networking. We can even find

online books in different types by using the modern gadgets. Some will play online

games in the internet in order to release their stresses. Moreover, we can easily

access to information or the latest news by using the modern gadgets. This will help

us to gain extra knowledge.

However, the modern gadgets had also bring the negative impacts to us. First, it

had increased the loneliness. Nowadays, social isolation is on the increase, people

are spending more time playing online games, watching movies or using social

networking rather than communicate with their family. Moreover, they are more

neglecting their real life. This can cause the relationship between their family become

loose because they are less communicate among family members. We should use

our time to do beneficial things instead of using our time playing and addicted to the

modern gadgets. We should bear in mind that time is gold.

In addition, we are becoming more dependency to the modern gadgets.

Teenagers are more depending on the modern gadgets nowadays. They claimed

themselves they cannot live without the modern gadgets like smart phones, ipad,
television and others. This is because the modern gadgets are attracted and cause

the teenagers become addicted to them. For example, some teenagers will addict to

the online games and play them until midnight and this will cause them a lot of health

problems like overusing of the modern gadgets will impact to their eyes. So, we must

use our modern gadgets wisely so that we would not controlled by it.
Then, overusing the modern gadgets can affect our health. Teenagers who

addicted to the modern gadgets will suffer the problem of lack of sleep because they

are overusing the gadgets. For example, a lot of teenagers used to play the online

games in the Facebook until midnight. This will cause them lack of sleep and less

energetic when they are learning. Eventually, their results will drop off due to not

enough time to do the revision and not pay attention when the teacher are teaching.

Research shows that lack of sleep will increase the risk of diabetes too. We should

aware to our health and alert that the misusing of the modern gadgets will cause the

health impact to us.

As a conclusion, modern gadgets bring the pros and cons to us. We must do not

misuse them and we must use them wisely. Teenagers misused the modern gadgets

had become a hot issue in this globalization. Parents play a important role to give

their children a education by teaching them to use their time wisely while using the

modern gadgets. Not only parents, all segments of society must coorperate to

overcome the problem of modern gadgets that had becoming widespread.
