People, old and young, have one smartphone or even more than one
smartphones nowadays. They consider this device is useful and powerful as they can do
many things and browse any information they wish. They can contact their relatives and
friends easily and fast. Furthermore, they can take excellent photos with it. This
condition can have good and bad effects. Consequently, parents should watch over their
children while using their gadgets.
First, they must ensure that their children only open good and credible websites.
It is to avoid them from browsing bad contents, such as violence.
Second, parents should remind their children not to use their smartphones for a

do exercises after using smartphones. It is because children tend to be passive while

put their cell phones away for few hours, otherwise they will become addicted. Such
addiction will gradually disturb their concentration and focus. It will disrupt their
studies which consequently makes them lack of knowledge and skills.

Integrated Pest Management

There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are
commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different
management operations is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the
environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality
of farm product. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This
means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees.
This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides
should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological
balance and environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to
fight pest in agriculture and livestock.
