Implementing Curfew to Minimize Gadget Usage
Youths today are more technologically inclined compared to the older generation because they are more exposed to and prone to gadgets and technology inventions. Is it a good thing? Or a bad thing to consider?
Let's bring back the old generation lifestyle for reference. My parents always told us that whenever they wake up every morning the first thing that they will do is hold a broom and sweep the floor, find a rag and mop the ground, or fetch some water from the well and water the plants. In short, once they woke up they will do their responsibilities first before doing what is not necessary. Compared to our generation today according to them which is a total opposite who is most likely to search for their phones once their eyes open resulting in a not productive day at home.
I am a little guilty about what they said because I sometimes do that and I'm pretty sure that most of us also. And that act resulted in them implementing a solution to that underlying problem and that is to have a gadget curfew. Wherein we have to surrender our gadgets to them once 10:00 p.m hit the clock while we can get it back tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning.
But guess what? Since I'm now an adult, not a full adult though, I and my older brother got exempted! Yay! Because you know what? Once you become a college student gadgets will be your partner in academics, especially in research. On the other hand, my two other siblings are not safe with this rule since they are still young and they are having in-person classes so gadget usage must be monitored all the time. For me, it is not about parents being a strict individuals rather they just want their children to know what to prioritize first and focus on the important matters.
Gadgets are just there, they will never leave. It's not bad to use them but we should know our limits and don't forget to do our responsibilities.

I must say that I am guilty of checking my phone first thing in the morning. In this age and generation, people are reliant to gadgets for entertainment. That's why, it is also difficult to just leave behind our phones. Hence, I think what your parents implemented was for the best for your other siblings.
