computers do not help children learn more effectively. On the contrary the use of computer has a negative effect on children’s physical and mental development. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, we are living in an interconnected world which provides various facilities for kids.
Consequently
, technologies
such
 as computers have become more prevalent among
children
.
However
, some argue that they are not learning effectively
as a result
.
Furthermore
, others still support the idea that technological devices can contribute to the development of mental disorders like anxiety and depression. In my opinion, like everything, these facilities should be used in moderation and with balance.
To begin
 with, globalization has enabled people to access various types of content from websites and social media, causing individuals to spend significant amounts of time in front of smartphones and other types of screens.
According to
 technological data provided by Google, individuals between the ages of 14 and 18 spend at least six hours per day browsing Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.
Additionally
, the number of searches for academic information on Google and Chat GPT is rapidly increasing. As a teacher, I am concerned about the new generation's reliance on digital resources, as commuting to the library is becoming less of a reality.
Furthermore
, many
children
 around the world are suffering from mental disorders caused by the excessive use of technology.
Consequently
, governments in many countries are implementing new strategies to address
this
 epidemic. To support
this
, the New York Times presents important data about
children
 and their relationship with electronic devices.
As a result
, many are losing certain abilities,
such
 as engaging in formal conversations and developing relationships with other
children
. In my opinion, some technologies have gone too far and need to be stopped.
For instance
, artificial intelligence is rapidly increasing, and people are becoming slaves to it once again. In conclusion, computers and technologies are extremely important for society, but humanity has yet to learn how to handle them properly. If we are not careful, we may be steering towards a dark future.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
