some people think that increasing communication usuage of computers and mobile phones by young people has had a negative effect on their reading and writing skills. to what extent do you agree or disagree.

There is no doubt that technology has been spread everywhere and It is believed by a segment of society that increasing communication via technology

such

as laptops, cell phones and so on has had a harmful impact on the reading and writing proficiency of young individuals.

However

, I disagree with

this

notion to some extent, which I intend to discuss in the subsequent paragraphs. Mobile applications and desktop software, which provide language supports, have been developed to make users' life easier, but unfortunately plays a sterling role to increase their language

skills

. It is generally seen that youngsters these days have installed applications

such

as Grammarly, MS-Word in their gadgets which helps them to write correctly by using auto-correction tools, thereby making them unaware about right and wrong words. Apart from

this

, communicating via social chatting applications,

for example

, WhatsApp, Facebook and so on, makes people habitant of using slang words and abbreviations which

further

put them in trouble while doing class presentations,colleagues group discussions and formal meetings as it becomes arduous for them not to use informal terms.

Therefore

, it worsens the reading and writing

skills

of young office workers. Communicating with the help of technology proves beneficial as the software used by

such

devices provide hints of possible vocabulary while writing, not only improving writing

skills

but

also

increasing the cognitive

skills

of users.

Moreover

, ease of any time availability for chatting, owing to having mobile phones would make the reading and writing

skills

of individuals better.

For instance

, if an employee is writing an email to his or her senior on the laptop, it would be easy for one to write good and error-free writing.

Hence

, sharing views via electronic devices boosts

such

skills

. To conclude,

although

communicating with electronic gadgets have a few demerits, it seems more conducive in terms of providing vocabulary lists, improving cognitive

skills

and easing in accessing devices helps in sharpening the language

skills

of individuals.
