Children's Telephone Watch is a new communication tool that integrates watches, calls, positioning and other functions. In recent years, it has been loved by parents and has almost become a standard for children. However, with the continuous enrichment of the functions of telephone watches, it has also begun to expose some defects, and problems such as privacy leakage, eye damage, and impact learning are frequent, resulting in more and more complaints and dissatisfaction with it.
First of all, the functions of telephone watches are increasing, and the prices are rising as the water rises. The telephone watch, a tool to ensure children's safety, has gradually become the capital for some children to compete. The series of problems caused by this make parents worry: telephone watches can be chatted, friends can leave comments, photos and even videos, and the circle of friends in children's telephone watches is constantly expanding. What should I do if my privacy is leaked and I am not careful when making friends? Telephone watch entertainment functions are many, but the screen is very small. Will the child keeping his eyes on it cause myopia? Will it have a bad impact on learning?
Children's phone watch has become a "mini mobile phone"
The author visited multiple shopping malls and found that the phone watch is placed in the children's toy area for sale. In the introduction of sales staff, we can get a message: the phone watch is neither a simple "phone" nor a simple "watch". It has become a "mini version" of the smartphone. It can play games, take photos, chat with videos, and also make online friends and electronic payments. Moreover, the author found that the social functions of children's phone watches are very similar to WeChat in adult smartphones, such as walking pedometers, comments on friends circles, likes, micro chats, group chats, etc., which are very attractive to children, and some children are even addicted to them.
Like adults who like to browse their Moments, children wearing phone watches are also very fascinated by the "Friends" in phone watches. Each child has his own "circle". Data shows that children spend more than 2 hours a day on the "Friends" of phone watches every day. If you are addicted to phone watches for a long time, it has a great impact on your child's vision and is not conducive to the cultivation of your child's concentration. If this continues, the result will be obvious, that is, myopia in your eyes and a decline in academic performance.
Non-compliant children's phone watches have excessive radiation
After entering the keyword "telephone watch" on the shopping website, the author found that there are many brands of telephone watches, with very different prices, with few dozen yuan cheaper, and even two or three thousand yuan high. Statistics show that as of February 2020, there were about 134 brands and 1,057 products in the online market in China. Children's smart watches accounted for more than 1/3 of the sales of children's smart watches in the smart watches and the market size has also increased year by year.
As more and more brands are deployed in the telephone watch market, a phenomenon has emerged in the market, that is, more and more low-priced non-compliant products are available. Some children's telephone watches sold online do not even have the necessary review certificates for electronic products such as national Internet access licenses. Although the prices of such products are low, the author does not recommend that parents buy them because their products are not compliant, so the radiation is relatively serious and it is very harmful to children's health. Moreover, the materials used for the production of such non-compliant children's telephones are also relatively cheap, and children are also prone to skin allergies during wearing.
Children's phone watches have a risk of privacy leakage
During the visit, the author was very impressed by the experience told by a parent. The parent told the author that once he took his daughter out and met a little boy on the subway. The little boy looked at his daughter for a while, and then suddenly ran over and touched his daughter's phone watch with his phone watch, so he successfully added a friend. This incident made him feel very scared because he didn't know whether the child had added other strangers without his knowledge, and was very worried that the child's privacy would be leaked.
The parent's concern is reasonable, because in recent years, domestic security platforms have successively proved the related loopholes of child safety watches. TV news also exposed the loopholes in some brands of children's phone watches, which can easily lead to user privacy leakage.Unlike most adult smartphones that are equipped with software such as mobile phone security assistants, which can identify viruses and Trojans to detect and clear, children's phone watches do not have related functions, and there is a high possibility that there will be hidden dangers of being implanted by Trojans , which makes the phone watch, which should have become the "guardian" of children, but instead becomes the "leaker" of children's privacy.
From the author's above analysis, we found that children's phone watch products are mixed. Once the purchased product has problems, the harm to children will be very serious. However, as a practical tool to ensure the safety of children and facilitate parents to contact their children, it plays a very important role in children's lives. Faced with this situation, parents need to keep their eyes open and choose suitable products for their children. Then, it is important to adhere to the following three selection principles. Parents must remember:
- "three certificates" are complete and products that meet production standards;
(three certificates: 3C compulsory certification, network access license, trademark registration certificate )
- functions are simple and practical, prevent myopia and prevent addiction;
- mild social function, prevent privacy leakage;
combines these three standards to choose. Although the purchased children's positioning telephone product must be very good, at least it can ensure that it does not have much impact on the health of the child. By comparing many children's positioning telephone products on sale on the market, the author found that the Mushroom Little Soldier's positioning telephone for children under Huaqiang Technology can be regarded as a cost-effective one among the products that meet the "three standards".
First of all, this product comes from Huaqiang Group, a top 500 company. Due to its deep technical background, the product functions are relatively complete and stable. The author also specially checked the information. This Mushroom Soldier product has three certificates and is displayed in the official Taobao store details page, so there is no need to worry about radiation; secondly, as a positioning telephone for preventing myopia, this Mushroom Soldier adopts a screen-free design, which eliminates the possibility of harming children's eyes from the root, and its functional settings do not contain any entertainment and dating functions, which can also prevent children from being addicted to affecting their learning; finally, Mushroom Soldier adopts the concept of "light social" in the design of social functions, limiting the social circle between families. Children do not have the right to add strangers as friends on their own. Only after the administrator invites them can join the family intercom group, so the privacy protection of children is stronger.
Finally, the author needs to remind parents that electronic products such as telephone watches will certainly bring some harm to children, but the convenience they bring to children cannot be ignored. Therefore, we do not need to be afraid of talking, but should adopt a dialectical attitude and adhere to our purchasing standards, so that we can choose products that are more suitable for children.
