没空照看孩子就让手机陪孩子玩?我们身边这样的情况还真不少见。好像智能手机和平板电脑除了常规的网络电子功能以外,还多了一个功能,就是当“保姆”。
When parents are too busy to spend time with their kids, they give them a smartphone or a tablet. All kinds of online games will entertain their kids and be their good friend. And once the children are addicted to these games, they will leave their parents alone. In this case, the smartphone or tablet is used as a virtual nanny, thus called smartphone nanny.
当父母忙碌而无暇陪伴孩子时,他们就将智能手机或平板电脑交给孩子玩。手机和平板里的各类游戏会让孩子找到乐趣,并且成为孩子的好朋友。一旦孩子对这些游戏上了瘾,就不会再去烦他们的父母了。这种情况下,父母塞到孩子手中的智能手机或平板电脑其实就是一个虚拟的保姆,该现象也由此被称之为“手机保姆”。
