Computer games are very popular for all ages and nationalities. Parents think this has little educational value and it will be harmful for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the present day with the advance of technology, the presence of
computer
games
, among children and younger people, has been increasingly popular;
however
, some parents believe
this
type of entertainment has little educational value and at times can be harmful to the development of children and I partially agree with
this
assumption.
This
essay will discuss why parents have
this
feeling and I will explain my point of view in detail.
First
and foremost, when the usage of technology is overseen it can present development with positive results.
Computer
games
, which can be created with an educational purpose, when used in a controlled ambience and with a specific aim can both help children enhance the creativity, and
also
promote learning and knowledge due to the facility to access any educational material in any part of the world,
for instance
.
Furthermore
, learning using technology and the facilities of online
games
is much easier, faster and more convenient
instead
of using traditional books. For these reasons, depending on the situation and the content, I partially agree
computer
games
can have a little value, being harmful to some young individuals.
However
, some mothers and fathers claim online
games
can damage the education of their offspring since they not only promote distractions but
also
endanger mental health.
In addition
, the overuse of
computer
games
can endorse perilous behaviour as the content of these
games
can be about violence and crimes.
For example
, a little boy using the
computer
in high frequency can become more introverted, and
also
present problems
such
as depression and anxiety, mitigating the interest by the school,
consequently
reducing the learning in most subjects.
Therefore
, the consumption of
this
sort of entertainment needs to be controlled by responsible ones, avoiding negative consequences. In conclusion, everything in overuse can be hazardous resulting in a negative side;
thus
, is of paramount importance the supervision of mothers and fathers,
this
way, provided that controlled the use of
computer
games
can present some benefits.
This
essay discoursed about an idea presented by parents and I could explain my opinion.
