COM201 Presentation: Exploring Mobile Impact on Young Children

This presentation examines the impact of mobile phones on children under 10, highlighting the increased vulnerability of children to cell phone radiation due to their developing bodies and thinner brain tissues. It discusses how electromagnetic waves from cell phones can disrupt brain activity, affecting mood, behavior, and learning. The presentation also addresses the risks of children encountering inappropriate media content, which can lead to altered perceptions and potential trauma. The presentation references studies by Chassiakos et al. (2016) and Cookingham & Ryan (2015) to support its claims about the effects of digital media and social media on children and adolescents.

IMPACT OF
MOBILE ON
CHILDREN
UNDER 10

IMPACT OF CELL PHONE
RADIATION ON CHILDREN
 Cell phone radiation affect children
more compared to adults (Chassiakos et
al.,2016).
 A child’s body is more vulnerable to
radiation since it is undergoing change
and growth
 Since the bones, tissues, and protective
linings for brain is very thin in children,
they are highly vulnerable to brain
tumor

CELL PHONE CAN CAUSE
DISTURBED BRAIN ACTIVITY
 The electric impulse of brain gets
hampered by the electromagnetic
waves generated by cell phones
(Cookingham & Ryan, 2015).
 Children lacks strong shields and hence
the waves can easily penetrate their
brains
 Erratic activity can cause problems in
mood patterns, behavioral tendencies,
and have trouble learning new things or
focusing properly

IMPACT OF INAPPROPRIATE
MEDIA ON CHILDREN
 There remain a risk of children coming
across inappropriate messages, images,
or texts
 Addiction to inappropriate contents in
an early edge can change their
perception about the society
 Children bellow the age range of 5-6
years can even get traumatized that can
impact their lives for a prolonged period
of time
