Subject: An appeal against rising tech addiction among the youth

Sir

Through the coloumn of your esteemed newspaper I would like to draw the attention of
concerned authorities towards against rising tech addiction among the youth.
Today, we are able to enjoy some of the most convenient gadgets to have ever existed,
which offer far more information and sources of entertainment than any other. As a
result, the upcoming generation has been becoming increasingly information-heavy.
The number of hours an average person spends in gaining new information, whether
wanted or unwanted, is fast increasing, with a screen in front of our eyes showing us
new wonders every minute. And on top of that, the wonders are as per choice and
preferences. All this temptation often leads young children to spend much more time on
these gadgets than what’s healthy. And even though we may not realise it instantly, it
levies a huge load of tiredness on our brains and eyes, often leading to inexplicable
stress and irritability.
It will be good you publish this in your newspaper and the concerned authorities will
see the gravity of this matter and some measures will be adopted to against rising tech
addiction among the youth.

Thanking you
Yours sincerely
