Mahindra shares adorable video of a tiny tot mistaking snack for phone

In today's generation, everyone is a 5G kid..! They need a phone first and foremost. Anything after that. Industrialist Anand Mahindra came across a video that makes these words true. What's more...he shared it with an attractive caption.

Hyderabad: "Mobile has become an inseparable part of our life. A day cannot pass without it. It is no wonder that the phone has become the world of children. A video reflecting this was shared by prominent industrialist Anand Mahindra on 'X'." A mother puts a snack on a plate for her child to eat. But, the girl mistook it for a phone and held it close to her ear.

Responding to the cute video, Anand Mahindra commented, "The human race has changed a lot. This is true. Right now that child needs a phone. After that, 'Roti, clothes, house'," humorously emphasises the shift in priorities, suggesting that for today's generation, having a phone might come before basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter.

It's a reminder of the changing dynamics in society and how technology is reshaping the way children interact with the world around them. Children are getting used to cell phones from infancy. Scientists warn that it is very harmful to them. According to a survey by Pew Research in 2020, 60 per cent of children are exposed to smartphones before the age of five. It has been revealed that unusual changes are coming in their behaviour due to regular use of these.

The viral video that led to debates on social media indicates the widespread recognition of this phenomenon and the need for discussions about responsible technology use, especially in the context of young children.
