Mobile is a very popular communication tool these days. Since the first cellphone came out, it
immediately boomed everywhere with every sophistication and advantage that is in every
cellphone, for example cameras, 3G, games, listening to music, etc. With mobile phones we can give
news or information to anyone just by SMS (Short Message Service). With the emergence of cell
phones, it has added convenience in telecommunication facilities, but no goods are perfect, in the
midst of the advantages of an item, there must be a negative impact.
The negative impact that is raised by cellphones, namely the presence of a dictionary application on
a cellphone causes students to depend on a dictionary on a cellphone and they don't want to think
harder, so does the calculator. Therefore, cases now often arise when students bring mobile phones
(HP) during tests which are used or used to calculate using a calculator, and to translate languages.
With chat technology, students become dependent on friends they chat with. Through their
cellphones, people can also spread unusual videos or hoax news.
And the ones who feel the most impact with mobile technology are parents, children now almost
once a week ask their parents for credit rations, even though not all parents can fulfill their child's
requests. Because of this, the initiative emerged from the children on how to get money to buy
phone credits, with that now many children are stealing their parents' money, stealing friends'
money at school, and even the worst one is using tuition money just to buy phone credits.
So, it's clear that cellphones have a bad impact on teenagers or children, therefore we have to select
emerging technologies whether they have positive or negative impacts, and what is no less
important is that we have to be aware of the impact of new technologies.
We have to be grateful for technology that continues to advance and we have to discriminate
between the positives and the negatives. "Keep Moving Forward Indonesian Education".
