could have some negative effects on the children. Computers can impact the cognitive abilities of the children. It offers a great range of applications in the fields of reading, writing, calculations etc. The use of

such

applications at an early age can prevent kids from attaining the basic knowledge of communication and calculation.

For example

of learning tables and performing calculations with their minds, they rely on the calculator application.

On the contrary

, it has become very important to gain computer skills these days. IT sector has become a big sector in the whole world, which generates millions of jobs every year.

Thus

Furthermore

, most of the government institutions and companies rely on the computers for their work.

For instance

, in India, you can apply for passport online and get an appointment. Even the employees use computers to scan the documents, fill the applicant related data, print the

will enable kids to get jobs.
