Around the world, many adults are working from home, and more children are beginning to study from home because technology has become cheaper and more accessible. Do you think this is a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Technology

has proven its impact as a powerful creation in our lives. It is handy for adults and

children

to

use

from anywhere in the world. Some people are depending on

technology

to educate their

children

from home, while others

use

it as their main job communication device. In my opinion, using

technology

as the only method for learning and communicating with the outside world will limit the child’s mental and physical abilities. The negative impact outweighs the positive. Looking at the negative impact on

children

's development, it can affect a child to become alienated from his environment. Sitting for long hours behind a screen will limit the child’s ability to interact and communicate with other

children

from different age groups.

Moreover

, the lack of physical activities plays a major role in developing illnesses

such

as obesity and diabetes as well as affecting eyesight. As mentioned in

this

essay the negative

use

of

technology

on

children

are greater than its positives.

However

, it still can be a lifesaving method to

use

in global pandemics or crises.

For example

, if a teacher faces an obstacle to attending her class, she can still give the class virtually online. The same idea can be applied to students, if a child is sick, he can attend the lesson or access a recorded class online. To conclude, in ,general anything we encounter and

use

has its benefits and downsides if not used wisely.

Thus

, a balanced approach is crucial to apply in different aspects of life. Parents should monitor the

use

of

technology

in their homes and

use

it when necessary.
