Before I state my opinions about the topic “Gadgets for our children: A Must or A Threat?” let me first define the word “gadget”. According to my very close friend, Wikipedia, A gadget is a small tool such as a machine that has a particular function. Even before, gadgets already existed but what we are to discuss are the modern gadgets that changed the world. No one wants to go back to the days of no smartphones, no tablets, no cameras, and no laptops. And above, we can see some of the gadgets we have in our home.

We don’t certainly need these gadgets in our lives. In fact, decades and centuries ago, people lived without gadgets, if they did, why can’t we? We can’t intake gadgets to our system like food and water to help us live. Gadgets only bring us convenience, efficiency and recreation. That is the reason why, we can’t say that, it is a MUST to have them.
But neither, can we say that it is a threat. Yes, because of these gadgets some students, like me, tend to be lazy. Computer games such as online games and social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Toutube divert the students' attention from school and lose their interest in their schoolworks. But, gadgets also bring a lot of advantages despite its disadvantages.
