There is no point to keep your kid away from technology. All you have to do is keep an eye on what they do on tablet or smartphone. If your kid uses a smartphone in spare time & the use of a smartphone is not affecting your kid's performance then there is no harm to allow it.

I think making them use it for an hour is enough. It won't be longer than that.

I think we need to find a middle ground in this.

After all, they willl face lack of confidence to cope up with the over speed advancement of the technology, if they are not familiar with the technology. You can put a line when to use or when not to.

in my opinion, you should let your kids use gadgets as long as you monitor them.
