Gadgets are very familiar in everyday life. Most people already have it. Gadgets are one of the tools that become "very" important in everyday life. People whose gadgets are left at home, without thinking, will immediately turn their vehicle back home to take their favorite gadget. The question is, is he doing the same if what is left is the Qur'an? The answer you know yourself.

Then, what do we want, children who are familiar with gadgets or who are familiar with the Qur'an? It is a choice. Everything has its pluses and minuses. There was even a mother who said, "Doc, I gave my child a gadget but it contains the Qur'an, doc" they laugh once again this is also an option.

Beware of the Negative Side

Well, let us now "iqro" our gadget from various sides. As the saying goes, Life is just like two sides of a coin, that life is like two sides of a coin, which means that everything can provide benefits, while on the other hand it can cause problems.

The positive sides of gadgets include being able to simplify human life, 

1) being able to communicate maximally via SMS, telephone, chat WhatsApp, telegram, and others. 

2) can search for extensive information from all over the world. 

3) can be used as a tool to transfer a number of funds without the need to queue tiredly at the bank. 

4) can be used as entertainment because many applications provide games. If you look at the positive side when used properly, the function of the gadget cannot be denied, it is very helpful for human activities.

As mentioned above, there is another side of the gadget that we need to pay attention to. Gadgets with various applications offered, especially games applications that are most often opened by children, have two sides of meaning. The positive meaning is that the games that exist on our children's gadgets or our gadgets that are often played by children can bring a fresh atmosphere again after the children have gone through long learning activities. The cool term is often referred to as "refreshing" (re-fresh). His philosophy is the presence of fitness again after doing certain activities on the sidelines of the main activities. But what parents need to watch out for is if the gadget has internet facilities and the child can freely access online games.

Online games with various applications displayed on gadgets provide special satisfaction for children where the way it works in each game is to provide a reward and punishment mechanism. The reward mechanism offered by the game on the gadget is that every time a child can reach a certain level, he or she can get a reward or prize, there are even various kinds of bonuses on the sidelines of the game which makes children curious and want to play because they are motivated by rewards. , bonuses and even jackpots. In addition there is a punishment mechanism in the game, when he fails to pass an obstacle then he will remain at that level, this is what makes children curious to start and start again in order to move levels, his mind has focused on how he can successfully pass each level .

Temptation and Addiction

Games on gadgets are fun, every word that appears always makes the child want to try and try again, there are the words "WELCOME YOU ARE INVITED TO GREAT ADVENTURE , then the child will click the START button, immediately followed by the words CONGRATULATION. YOU WIN, YOUR SCORE 5000, Level 1 is completed, a sense of worth will appear in the child by pressing the NEXT LEVEL button. And so on at each level your child will feel an extraordinary sensation. He can see the score he has obtained at each level and he will be happy, stomping his feet, shouting, laughing. Even if the child loses on a level, and the words SORRY, YOU LOSE YOUR SCORE is 20,000, the child will think that he must be more focused, must be more careful and careful in playing, he will be increasingly challenged and challenged to win the level unresolved. Moreover, when he loses, the system of the game will display a HIGH SCORE which displays the ranking of the names that have played the game, this spurs the child to enter a high ranking as a winner in the game. The fun of games played by children can cause them to lose track of time and even forget to eat. And, what is more, dangerous is that you forget to recite the Koran and pray. This is where parents play an important role in supervising their children's play.

Another challenge that needs to be watched out for when children linger playing games on gadgets is the problem of pornography. There are a lot of games now that are tucked into scenes that are inappropriate for children to see, especially for a long and repeated period of time. So that scene or incident will become a permanent program in the child's subconscious and what is even more worrying is that the child wants to channel all the desires he has seen, heard, and played in games on gadgets and tries to channel it in real life. If pornography becomes the consumption of our children, the child's lust and sexual desire will appear earlier than the age they should be. The criteria for games that contain pornography are if the game features characters with inappropriate clothes, their genitals are exposed, there are poses that show protrusion of limbs, scenes that display scenes that invite sexual desire such as kissing, hugging, games that give prizes or scores in the form of beautiful women, even get points if you can rape the most women. Naudzubillah. Be vigilant and take care of our children.
