their health.

This

essay will look at both sides of the argument, but ultimately conclude that it is not entirely negative. The people who argue against daily computer use for children quite rightly point to the fact that computers require students to sit indoors, staring at a screen. Children are not active when using a computer, and are usually engrossed in the computer’s display. Obviously, a child’s health requires them to be active, social, and to get outside often. Computers can

be quite addictive. The nature of the

that children can grow very attached to them, and lose interest in other, more wholesome, activities. For these reasons and more, people argue that computers have some negative effects on children.

However

, in spite of that, computers aren’t entirely bad. In most schools, they are used for educational purposes, and they can deliver certain types of lesson in a very effective way. Computers can be used to teach children with learning disabilities, or simply to engage kids with fun activities so that they can learn some useful information that may

have seemed boring. But perhaps most importantly, computers have quickly become a massive part of modern life, and they will only continue to grow in importance. For children to learn how to use them at a very young age is extremely advantageous, and so schools should teach all sorts of computing skills while kids’ brains are still open and malleable. In conclusion, there are definitely some negatives to children spending time on computers each day;

however

, computers can be very good learning tools, and so there are lots of advantages as well.
