New technologies have changed the way children spend their free time. Do advantages of this outweigh disadvantages?

Over the period we witnessed there was a swing in

technology

. Due to that, there had been so many changes that took place in leisure time for

children

. They find streaming videos are more attractive than playing outside. In

this

essay, I will explain both the perks and challenges of technological advancement. On the constructive part, because of present cutting edge

technology

, open doors for self-education for

children

. At present times, most of the

children

are studying at home because of a pandemic outbreak. At

this

time,

technology

is acting as a bridge to full fill

children

's doubts as well as help them to get some knowledge in practicals.

For instance

, my younger brother is studying 5th grade. By watching some Youtube tutorials he gets rid of his doubts and performs some practicals as well.

Technology

provided various ways of learning sources for

children

. On the destructive part, a couple of decades before,

children

spent most of their free time studying books, comics, and magazines.

However

, in the present era,

children

are enjoying their pastime by sitting in front of computers. Because of

this

, problem-solving skills in

children

are decreasing and

this

will lead to making them a puppet. Another point to consider is sitting long hours in front of computer screens can lead to some health-related problems. Watching screens for long hours like watching tv, computers, and mobile phones will lead to eye disorders and other related health problems. To emphasize

this

let me share an example, because of online games my son is not showing interest in physical games and

this

will decrease his body fitness and in the long run, it will lead to obesity. In a nutshell,

technology

is a boon and a bane. Technological enhancement helps

children

to explore and acquire knowledge, but

on the other hand

, it comes up with challenges

such

as health-related problems. According to my opinion,

technology

overweight disadvantages than advantages.
