Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children. Do you agree or disagree?

Recently,
computers
are an important and indispensable object for
children
. It is argued that using a computer frequently can have more disadvantages than advantages effect for
children
. I totally agree with that statement.
This
essay will aim at my point of view.
Although
computers
bring a lot of benefits as well as save a lot of
time
for users.
However
, its drawbacks for young
children
are unavoidable.
First
of all, the regular use of
computers
from an early age will make
children
lose their necessary skills in life.
For example
,
children
only focus on the virtual world through games, videos, or movies, so they have less opportunity to meet and interact with other people. That makes
children
limit their exposure to the outside, making them more and more passive and shy.
In addition
, when too much
time
is wasted on the computer,
children
can become addicted. at
this
time
their behaviour will be difficult to control.
Children
begin to be stubborn and do not listen to their parents whenever their parents try to pull them away from the computer to return to real life.
Moreover
, the utilization of
computers
in the long-term affects
children
's health, especially, their eyes.
For example
, spending hours in front of a desktop or laptop makes
children
's eyes get hurt and their sight decreases, which increases the possibility of myopia or eye diseases. In conclusion, I think that
computers
or any other devices should be used at the right
time
and in the right way to avoid causing negative effects on young
children
.
