Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, more

children

use electric devices,

such

as a

computer

and a smartphone for their study as well as entertainment. Especially, during the coronavirus pandemic, many schools had online classes and gave students assignments that they were supposed to submit on the internet.

Thus

, the time young kids spend on a

computer

has been increasing these days. It seems to me that using a

computer

every day can have more negative than positive effects on

children

. There are two following reasons for

this

.

Firstly

, there are a lot of things on their devices that can distract

children

from studying,

for example

, online games and SNS.

Moreover

, it is difficult for their parents to notice that

children

are addicted to playing games or chatting with their friends

instead

of doing their homework.

Secondly

, due to the increase in using a

computer

as a communication tool, the young generation tends to lose opportunities to build their communication skills in person.

This

can lead kids to bully somebody on the internet.

On the other hand

, students benefit from using a

computer

very often. It enables them to take classes remotely, so they don't lose educational opportunities during the pandemic.

In addition

, using

such

devices every day means that they are getting more IT skills from a young age. In conclusion, I agree with the idea that using a

computer

every day can affect

children

in a more negative way. We need to consider deeply to what extent parents let them use the Internet.
