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

#computer #effects #children
In
this
 modern era, we can see that technology become an important part of our daily activity across all generations from retired people,
work
 employees,
students
 in universities and
children
 in schools. The question
that is
 always raised as a concern is, Do computers bring positive or negative values to
children
? In
this
essay
, I will present the advantages and disadvantages of letting
children
 use computers in their daily activities. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the education system has changed and became matched the demands of the workforce.
Hence
,
this
 requires to include a subject in
children
's studies on how to use a
computer
,
for example
 developing software and using Microsoft word to write an assignment for their studies. By ,
this
 we can see that
students
 will be able to practice from an early age using these technologies which will be needed when they are in university and working in companies.
However
, there is room for the negative side that might be a concern,
for instance
, using a
computer
 to
work
 on an
essay
 will affect the ability of
students
 to do some research and read books to find the answers to the
essay
 subject, since the internet did not leave any information hidden from individuals, which will end up that student might find the
essay
work
 ready to be copied.
In addition
 to
this
, letting
students
work
 for a long time on the
computer
 throughout the day will lead to mental fatigue and health problems as minimal activities are required while using the
computer
 except, typing on a keyboard and looking into the screen. In summary, I believe that
children
 using a
computer
 is having positive and negative side,
hence
 school and parents should
work
 hand in hand to weight the amount of time which youth should use a
computer
 in their study subject.
