Some people believe that time spent on televiosion, video and computer games can be beneficial to children. Others believe this has a negative effects on a child. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In these modern times,

children

are inclined toward the digital world, where, they have easy access to it. It is argued that some people think that usage of these digital platforms is useful to kids,

however

, others believe in another way.

This

essay will be addressing both views separately.

Firstly

, there are certain benefits to using television and playing video

games

for

children

. Television can be used for educational purposes,

for example

, watching National Geographic channel or News channels, which will boost the kids' knowledge level to get in-depth knowledge regarding some subjects, which they might not find in the books.

In addition

to that, playing video

games

, for the

time

being, helps them to relax or even boost up their energy and gaming skills.

For example

, playing chess on a computer gives out the same composure as a board game.

This

can increase the skillset the child can develop in that particular game.

Hence

,

children

can be benefited from the usage of

such

electronic devices.

Secondly

, we can see many negative impacts on young people by the usage of

such

electronic devices. Spending

time

on television and for computer

games

will gradually take them to a level of obsession.

This

will lead the

children

to lose focus in studies and other extra-curricular activities, which may even spoil their childhood. Another reason to believe

this

statement is that,

this

addiction will detach them from social life, where the kids are more prone to be at home rather than exploring the outside world.

For example

, recent studies found out that, 60% of

children

aged between 7 and 15 have zero interaction with society due to their dependence on video

games

and cartoons.

Therefore

, attraction toward these gadgets can have a detrimental effect on

children

. To conclude, there are equal advantages and disadvantages to

children

spending

time

on electronic accessories. They can be beneficial to their education, as well as, a habit that may spoil their life. In my opinion,

children

should reduce their

time

spent on these, because, to get out of the dependency on

such

appliances, will require a high effort.
