Anupama Anushree, President, Arambh Foundation, said, “These days, children spend their energy and time in gadgets and playing online games in this digitalized world.
Gadgets are making them strong from the perspective of IQ because the knowledge of this whole world is in mobile, people roam around by keeping the knowledge in their pockets due to this they are emotionally weak. Their IQ is increasing because their EQ is decreasing which is not human but mechanical trait.
But using these gadgets we don’t have to make ourselves a gadget instead by making use of these gadgets in a balanced way we need to increase our knowledge and we need to control limits and establish a balance in it.”
Dr Arvind Jain said, “If the family’s atmosphere is full of TV and mobile culture then there’s no problem, but if parents become aware, and if they resist their child from using it, then the anger of their child will come in front of them.
In present situation, parents of a single child fulfill the demands of their child.” Mahesh Saxena, Director, Bal Kalyan Evam Bal Sahitya Shodh Kendra, said, “If you visit at someone’s place and even if you go to some stage at a function, people are busy in their mobile phones only.
You will find everyone on phone. People are not talking to each other at home. All are engaged in talking to some strange people on phone. The madness for mobile is a typical problem these days. Today, the biggest reason for arguments is mobile.”
The decision for competition was taken by Shyama Gupta and Sudha Dubey in which the first position was secured by Khushi Saxena, second position was secured by Adya Bhartiya, and third position was secured by Avigya Choksey.
