#people #children #time #tv #video #pc #games
According to some views,
TV
, movies, and
PC
games
 have a good influence on
children
. At the same
time
, other people say, that these leisures have a bad influence on youngsters' development.
This
 essay will discuss both sides of views to
this
 opinion. From my perspective, the shortcomings of that entertainments are obvious. On the one hand, the reasons why some people are convinced, that
TV
,
PC
games
, and
video
 have a positive impact on kids are, because, current media for infants are mostly based on an educational program. During
this
 entertainment, youngsters receive access to learn different pieces of knowledge, like mathematics, physics, even new languages. All these educational processes go through the fun and
games
, accompanied by songs and lyrics. On another hand, during the
time
, when
children
 are involved with mentioned processes, parents receive free
time
 for themselves and relaxation. And these are main reasons why some parents have not been paying needed attention to obvious disadvantages of discussed entertainments.
Thus
, despite some positive influences, negatives impacts from
TV
,
video
, and
PC
games
 are more destructive to the weak
children
’s nervous system. According to nowadays psychological research,
children
, who have spent more
time
 watching
TV
/
video
 or playing
PC
games
, have less developed speaking ability than their peers.
Furthermore
, the concentration and self-education abilities could suffer in the same way.
As a result
, if the situation did not improve, it might be caused to different problems in the future, not only at school life but at university life too. Taking above mentioned into account, bad consequences for
children
 from watching
video
 and
TV
 programs, and from playing
PC
games
 are significantly bigger than the positive impact of these entertainments. In my opinion, the bad sides of that kind of leisure make them inappropriate for
children
 and parents should avoid them as long as they can.
