Businesses sell toys as stationery

However, with the development of electronic technology, some digital products have both entertainment and learning functions. For example, smartphones equipped with functions such as electronic dictionaries, point-of-sight readings, and e-book readers, businesses only emphasize learning functions and conceal entertainment functions when marketing, misleading the parents of some students. Close to school, many businesses began to promote school supplies.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen, a parent of a middle school student in Nankai District, said that recently, the child bought an “electronic dictionary” with 899 yuan of lucky money, but he observed carefully that the electronic dictionary is a touch screen, not only with Chinese and English dictionaries, recordings, and points. Reading, e-book readers, and other functions, as well as the download of online games, camera, phone calls. The child admitted that he bought a smart phone, but the merchant said "This product is very complete, including electronic dictionaries and other learning features, inexpensive."

In Cyber ​​Digital Plaza in Anshan West Road, it sells a variety of electronic products. A businessman hits a banner "Three-piece must-have for school, minus 2000 for 100." The reporter inquired that it was a tablet, a smartphone, and an MP4.

When reporters questioned why these electronic products became necessary school supplies for business school, the merchants laughed and said "you OUT (outdated)". Today's tablet computers also have functions such as electronic dictionaries, point-reading recordings, and e-book reading. Checking data is convenient, and it is a good "school article." The merchant stated that the simple electronic dictionary is very difficult to sell.

Electronic products are rapidly upgraded, and many products carry multiple functions, leading to ambiguous definitions of some products, both game entertainment functions and learning functions. For example, tablets, smart phones, MP4 and other products have this tendency. When promoting a business, one-sided emphasis on its "learning function", hidden entertainment features, misleading parents.

In this regard, a teacher in Nankai District, 63, said that businesses had adverse effects on the sale of toys as stationery, and students were attracted by the game's game entertainment functions, which may have led to the abandonment of their studies and eventually backfired. When parents purchase digital school supplies for their children, they should not purchase products that carry game features, so as to avoid adversely affecting children's learning.
