Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, young children

use

computers so frequently that some even

use

them for more than 10 hours every day. Many people believe that the frequent

computer

use

Suggestion

user

has no harmful effects on young children,

however

I disagree with

this

opinion. There is no doubt that there are some negative health consequences of using a

computer

very often, especially for young people. Physical problems can be caused by spending too much time in front of a

computer

,

such

as poor eyesight or bad posture from sitting in one position all day.

In addition

, being sedentary can contribute to a lack of exercise and obesity which is clearly a problem among young people these days. An increase in health problems due to a sedentary lifestyle could result in higher health care costs for young people later in life. As well as the physical problems, frequent

computer

use

can

also

have a negative impact on social skills. Children who spend a lot of time using computers may not learn how to interact in the real world with real people,

this

could lead to less friendly and sociable adults. Young people may become more concerned with their scores and progress in games than they are with what happens to them at school or in their jobs. In conclusion, even though technology has some benefits, I believe there are more negative consequences when using a

computer

every day. Physical and social problems

such

as poor posture, bad eyesight and lack of social skills can be avoided if computers are used less by the younger generation.
