Some people think reading stories in books is better than watching TV or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the development of technology and media, many
parents
 allow
children
 to entertain themselves by watching TV or playing computer. But, some people say that reading
books
 is outweigh using technology. There are my opinions about
this
 discussion below.
To begin
 with, reading
books
 can build
children
's creativity and improve their concentration. Recent research shows that
children
 who read story
books
 would pay attention to class longer than others when they grow older to go to school.
In addition
,
parents
 can gain more opportunities to spend time accompanying their
children
.
For instance
,
parents
 can read stories while they play the characters in the story, and interact with
children
. Meanwhile,
parents
 can observe the child's health, especially in the mental aspect, and
then
 talk to and help them in time. Obviously, information from TV is easier and more quickly to be accessed by kids.
For example
, when
children
 see the documentary -- Wild Life, they can recognize the animals and gain knowledge of those animals in an intuitive way.
Furthermore
, playing video games can build their practical ability.
Such
 as, playing the
first
-person game can improve the
children
's ability on keeping balance and a sense of direction. But, regardless of whether watching TV or playing electric games are both probable to make
children
 addicted to them.
Hence
,
parents
 should supervise the kids not to spend too much time on those technologies. In conclusion,
nevertheless
 obtaining information by reading
books
 is slower than using high-tech devices, it is not only for gaining knowledge but
also
 for building family bonds and creating a chance to
parents
 to pay attention to their
children
.
However
, in recent years, technology is providing an important function in our life. So,
parents
also
 should allow their
children
 to use those techniques under their supervision.
