SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT READING STORIES FROM A BOOK IS BETTER THAN WATCHING TV OR PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES FOR CHILDREN. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE ?

Nowadays, children show more interested in taking advantage of modern technology. It is assumed by many that kids nowadays spend more

time

on the television and the internet rather than reading novels.

This

essay will argue that children waste more

time

on various websites.

First

of all, the younger generation youths around 10 to 18 years of being more addicted towards the modern technology, they will spend long hours surfing various websites like Facebook, Instagram and youtube.

For example

, today's generation of kids used to eat meals by watching the television or by videos on youtube.

However

,

this

is becoming an obsession that may give rise to many side effects which will affect their lifestyle at a very young age.

Moreover

, most kids developing certain diseases like affecting their eyesight, lack of exercise giving rise to an increase in the level of insulin in the body. Yet, parents play a vital role in the development of the individual and they should limit the

time

of using these electronic gadgets. In old days, teenagers used to utilize their

time

by reading storybooks, novels and magazines.

For instance

, a famous Indian writer Sudha Murthy wrote the books since she was a child.

Furthermore

, in those days, people utilise their leisure

time

by making them busy in the extra circular activities

nonetheless

, these things are completely absent for today's generation. Government should build a small library for free cost in every locality so that everyone can enjoy reading different things. In conclusion, reading books, magazines and newspapers should be promoted rather than advertising different technologies or schemes.

Finally

, I conclude that it is the responsibility of everyone to encourage their offspring to pay more attention to books

instead

of watching tv or the Internet.
