Short Story For Kids - Gadget Addiction
Tanmay was a charming boy studying in class 4. He was good at studies too. Every year, he would celebrate his birthday on a grand scale. This year he was more excited because, he was visiting his uncle in Dubai on his birthday and his uncle had promised that he would gift him something very special for his birthday!
Tanmay flew to Dubai with his parents. Dubai was a wonderful place. They roamed the city and had a lot of fun. That birthday was indeed a special one for Tanmay. To make it more special, as promised his uncle handed over a box wrapped in a gift wrapper. Tanmay opened it to see a mobile inside it! He was delighted to see his present. He immediately started to explore it. He learnt to operate it too.
They came back home to India. Tanmay showed his mobile to all his friends. One of his friends suggested a game which he could download. Tanmay was so fascinated to play that game that he started to play it frequently. His routine slowly changed. He did not go out to play with his friends. He was always with his mobile.. This distressed his parents. They warned him many times. He seldom listened to them.
Finally, it started to affect his studies, he could not focus. It also affected his eyesight. He started to complain of headaches. He was taken to the doctor and ended up wearing spectacles. The doctor also strictly warned him not to use the mobile phone.
Tanmay realised that he had become lethargic and lost his charm. But made up his mind and came out of mobile addiction!
Moral of the Story:
Technology! The kind of luxury that it offers (especially the e-gadgets provides us); it is but obvious that we get lured by it. But it can be very dangerous if we get addicted to it. It affects our health and also peace of mind. Especially for kids, they lose their precious time playing outdoor games.
