Using computers everyday can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree.

#computers #effects #children
The use of computers in our daily life is on a steep rise as it is an essential tool used both in our professional and personal life. Many believe that introduction to computers at a young age has a detrimental effect on children. While
this
 holds true up to a certain extent when
this
 affects their physical activity and face to face interaction with peers their own age. Personally, I believe that there should be a balance and constant supervision by parents.
However
, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Firstly
, Computers are a huge source of
information
 that will allow children to explore topics based on their interests and at their own pace.
For example
, Google, Wikipedia can provide any
information
 within seconds.
This
 ease of availability opens multiple options for children to explore and expand their interest. Computer based games are
also
 known to improve dexterity in children, which is an added advantage. The downside of
this
 ability to access
information
 is their vulnerability to being exploited and bullied online. Children with their trusting nature tend to be easy targets for online predators and the possibility of being bullied is significantly higher due to anonymity internet provides. To neutralize
this
, periodic monitoring by parents is an absolute necessity. In conclusion, in life there is always a possibility of being exploited and bullied
this
 can be avoided by taking a few simple precautions. The
information
 and ability to access it regardless of age is an advantage that cannot be downplayed.
Hence
, a balance approach will help reduce risks.
