Some people think that using mobile phones and computers has a negative effect on young people's reading and writing skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today's world, using

technology

has become one of the most concerning issues. Some individuals claim that using mobile

phones

and computers has harmful effects on youngsters'

skills

,

such

as writing and reading

skills

.

Although

technology

has many benefits, I totally agree with

this

statement. In

this

essay, I will discuss the relevant reasons behind

this

issue.

To begin

with, in

this

contemporary era, many things have changed with the development of

technology

, especially our lifestyle. Young

people

are addicted to their cell

phones

and laptops which causes severe problems and changes the ways they write or read.

For example

, because of different communication applications on mobile

phones

, youngsters prefer to send a voice message rather than a text message.

Moreover

, many adolescents used to write their diaries in a notebook which helped them to increase their writing ability, while nowadays they record their diaries with photos or videos on laptops which reduces their

skills

.

Furthermore

, the development of

technology

in the field of reading and listening has changed the ways that

people

read a book.

For instance

, there are many podcasts and audiobooks narrating different kinds of books and cause removing physical books.

Besides

that, spending too much time using cell

phones

and computers leads to having less time for reading a book or a magazine.

Therefore

,

this

makes young

people

have fewer abilities in reading and writing. To sum up,

technology

has changed

people

's lifestyles and activities.

Although

there are many advantages, it can affect our

skills

by using too much. I believe that young

people

's reading and writing

skills

can be decreased by using mobile

phones

and computers.
