Reading story books is better for children than watching television or playing computer games.Do you agree or disagree.
Growing up in the modern world surrounded by technology, youngsters nowadays spend more time on digital devices than reading. Some say reading
books
has more advantages for children than using computers
or television, I disagree with this
in relation to bringing better memories through motion pictures and retaining attention, as well as the various choices of content from using computers
.
First
of all, the media content in digital devices can keep the kids' attention on it while the interactive elements like videos and games will also
create enjoyable moments and motivate them to continue watching it. For example
, some academic studies have found that children have a better performance in recalling the complete story through watching animations than those who read the same story on paper. Graphics in motion with sounds got better entertainment functions while books
have heavily relied on words. As a result
, digital devices provide a more interesting platform for educational purposes.
Secondly
, the content of media is stored digitally on computers
or on the internet, which can be easily accessible and provide a large range of choices to find in one click. For instance
, tablets nowadays are small enough to accommodate millions of TV programs and educational games for kids to enjoy for a whole day, while books
got limitations regarding the dimension and weight that may not friendly for young people to take from a bookshelf. Thus
books
are getting replaced by computers
in recent decades.
To summarise, watching television and computer games have more advantages than reading books
for children, in terms of improving the concentration of the youngsters, and providing more choices in one device that is
easily accessible by the school kids.Submitted by bennettshiu on
