The first reason why overusing gadget is very dangerous for teenagers is the
radiation impacts. This is a truly accident that happens in many cases. When teenagers
often use gadget, they will not feel the impact directly. It is because those eyes seem to be
tired and some complications can occur. This kind of accident assumed as common disease.
However, the radiation will distract their eyes and become a big problem for their sight.
We can see the proof in many cases. One of those was released by kompas.com that the
radiation from gadget can decrease the amount of blink. It causes the irritation of eyes,
dryness of eyes and their visibility will fade gradually. The Swedish researcher, Dr. Lennart
Hardell, said that using gadget for one hour per day within ten years could increase the
risk of complications. Maybe, the government in case of Health Department or social
movement can educate or give an education about the impacts of radiation. It will be
better for them to understand how bad radiation is. Therefore, they will know and manage
their time to limit in using gadget.
Next, let me talk about the second reason. That is wasting the effective time.
Usually, it happens because they postpone important things that they have to do. Instead,
they prefer to scroll their social media. “Time flies so fast”, this is one term that represents

the limited time. Especially for teenagers, they need to use time as wise as possible. Many
people argue when they were in young age, they regret it because they have wasted many
times to do useless thing. Based on my experience, this is what we face nowadays. Usually,
we do not know how to utilize our time. We should try something useful but we are lazy to
do that. In fact, teenagers tend to use their time only for scrolling the feeds and
commenting on social media more than one hour, because it is a very simple thing.
Actually, this kind of activity is very useless and wasting time. We can realize after seeing
the time and shouting “Time flies so fast”. Therefore, we need to know how important
effective time for our life is.
Now, I’d like to move on to the third reason. Overusing gadget can drive them to be
an anti-social one. It happens because they focus too much on their gadget. This is very
happening nowadays in certain groups of teenagers. They have a meeting and make a
circle. Does anyone know what happens during that meeting? They only focus on gadget
and nobody cares what the speaker says. It is so unfortunate that teenagers nowadays
don’t care about their surrounding area. It also happens in my boarding house. One of my
neighbors seems to be a smartphone addict. I do not know what he plays. However, one day
he asked by other people to entrust a goods in my boarding house to pick it up, the name
was mentioned in the package, but he did not know the name addressed to. How poor he is.
Therefore, recognizing people is very important and don’t be an anti-social one.
In conclusion, teenagers need to limit the use of gadget because it has three bad
impacts. It is true that by the advancement of technology, everything can be accessed by
one click in one time. However, gadget is addictive. We cannot leave gadget for a moment.
Facing a gadget every day in long time can trigger the eyes complications because of
radiation. Moreover, the effective time will disappear without any advantages. In addition,
it can hamper people to socialize with others. Therefore, limiting and managing the time in
