Some people think that the increasing use of computers and mobile phones for communication has a negative effect on young people's reading and writing skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Plenty of
people
believe that there is a negative influence on the reading and writing skills of children
when they use computers and mobile phones too much. In my opinion, I firmly agree with this
statement, which causes them heavily to rely on the auto-correction system and not know how to read a book.
To begin
with, children
cannot write correct words. Since the developed technology is commonly used worldwide, we can just type the words into any device and send it anywhere without thinking, because those devices
will help you to incorrect your spelling. Specifically, this
is a big issue that impacts the writing skill of young people
. When telling them to give an essay without using a computer, they will fail on this
. Thus
, advanced technologies are very convenient, but it causes young people
who lack writing skill.
Furthermore
, young people
lack the ability to enjoy reading books
. As they spend massive time on technical devices
, social media has occupied a critical role in their mind, so if asking them to read a book, they might be cannot complete this
task. For instance
, my friend’s son, named Tom, since he was little, his parents gave him a lot of time for playing on the computer and smartphone. And when I asked him have ever read books
, he told me he does not like to read books
. Therefore
, giving children
too much time on using technical devices
, influences children
's scarce interest in reading books
.
To sum up, although
more and more people
and schools tend to let children
use computers or other devices
to accomplish their work, this
causes plentiful drawbacks to children
's reading and writing.Submitted by Nikky on
