Attention is drawn to the fact that children are increasingly looking for entertainment using mobile devices, sharing new products with their peers, and spending time together playing various online games, and parents cannot control this process. At the same time, teachers conduct lessons using mobile devices to draw attention to the subject being studied. In the process of using computer technology, students can form a special type of thinking, the so-called "clip consciousness", which leads to fragmentary thinking and the irreversibility of changes in consciousness. Therefore, the problem of excessive use of mobile devices by children requires constant analysis and coverage. The development, creation, and use of software for monitoring the presence of children on gadgets is one of the urgent needs of parents and teachers. In turn, teachers, in addition to teaching students, need to draw their parents' attention to the use of gadgets outside of school. To do this, parents are encouraged to use a variety of software, including Microsoft Family Safety, which provides parents with tools to monitor their child's mobile and Internet behavior, and helps parents choose child-friendly content and explain how to use their device and Internet resources.
