As a result of electronic inventions such as the computer and television, people do less physical activity, and this is having a negative effect on their health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is no-doubt true that the inventions of electronic devices

have changed

change

our everyday lives so much throughout history. While

might harm people’s physical health to some extent, I believe that the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages. The main drawback of electronic tools is that people become less physically active due to excessive time

spending

spent

for

such

inventions. In the workplace, employees are expected to sit down and work almost without breaks in front of the computer’s screen over a long period of time.

Such

repeated action on a daily basis can progressively lead to impaired physical mobility or dangerously increased chance of fatal diseases

such

as diabetes or stroke. A report in the UK in 2017,

for example

, pointed that millions of adults in their country were physically inactive, putting themselves at greater risk of heart and circulatory disease.

be a negative impact for the whole community in the long term, as we will possibly see an increasing number of patients in hospitals suffering from these poor health

conditions

. Despite the negatives mentioned above, it is my belief that

such

inventions are bringing us more merits than demerits.

Firstly

, they allow an individual to communicate and keep in touch with his family, relatives and friends,

thus

reinforce the relationship among them.

Secondly

, people can be informed about what is happening around the globe, especially those living in remote areas like islands or deserts, simply by turning on a television.

For instance

, if a man chose to live in an absolutely isolated countryside, his life would be in huge trouble and tedious as a consequence of the absence of

such

electronic devices.

Furthermore

, inventions like the computer offer a great opportunity for many young students to complete lots of online University courses with no need of attending face-to-face classes. To summarise,

although

I recognize some potential dangers of electronically operated devices, it appears that these inventions are more beneficial to human being in terms of communication and long distance study
