Using computers everyday can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do you agree or disagree.
In
this
modern era, our life
has become much dependent on technology as well as
computers
. Dependence on computers
possesses more negativity than positivity, especially in youngsters. I personally believe that dependence on computers
can bring positive impacts on a child's life
and the positivity never outweighs the negativity.
To begin
with, using computers
obviously has some benefits which make it an indispensable part of a youngster's life
. For education and learning children
mostly use computers
in numerous ways. For example
, They get involved in online classes, submitting homework and assessment through computers
. Furthermore
, connecting with their peers through online chats, ordering goods online, drawing and painting are also
can be done by computers
and that helps to enhance their creativity and intelligence. A recent study based on Monash University illustrates that around 80% of Australian children
have a reliance on computers
to fulfil their daily needs. Therefore
, in the 21st ,century youngsters cannot imagine their life
without computers
.
However
, according to
some masses, computers
have more drawbacks than benefits for children
. The primary reason behind this
thought is most children
are addicted to computers
for playing video games which might lead to detrimental consequences for their well-being and social life
. A recent newspaper review illustrates that addiction to video games severely disturbed their social and emotional wellbeing. Moreover
, excessive utilization of computers
affects their physical and mental health. To illustrate, if they sit a long time in front of computers
their eyesight and brain development can be affected. For example
, a recent survey based on parents depicts that, those children
who have limited access to computers
have good eyesight than those who use computers
excessively. Therefore
, overuse of computers
can lead to this
kind of drawbacks.
To conclude
, though computer uses have both positive and negative consequences, monitoring the use of computers
by children
can bring a plausible solution. Computers
should be used on the basis of necessity and over-utilization should be avoided.Submitted by rahman_rehana on
