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.
