Some people think children's spending time on TV, video and PC games is good, while others think it is bad. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some people suggest that it is a good trend that

children

spend more

time

watching television,

videos

or playing computer games,

while

others have the opposite view. I think there are some pros and cons to that issue. In

this

essay, I will overview both and give my opinion in conclusion.

To begin

with, two or three decades before

children

spent most of their free

time

playing outside, meeting

friends

and reading , nowadays a major part of their leisure

time

they spent using gadgets. Real

friends

are replaced with virtual

friends

from online games. They choose to watch TV shows or

videos

on YouTube , rather than have a walk or read a book. On the one hand, it is not a bad change.

Firstly

,it is easier to find new

friends

from all over the world by playing online games and improving foreign language skills. Nowadays it is difficult to make new

friends

in real life, modern technologies can help to deal with that issue.

Secondly

, there are some useful

videos

and TV shows , which will help with the educational process .

For instance

, some historical or scientific films or recordings. On the other side, they are some disadvantages. The main one is health

problems

, which will be caused by using computers frequently.

For example

,

problems

with the eyes or spine.

Also

, after some

time

children

will have

problems

with socialisation and communication in real life . Virtual life is more easier and comfortable, without

problems

and difficulties.

To conclude

, my opinion is that they are some good sides to using modern technologies by

children

. New contacts all over the world, language improvement, educational

videos

or films. But parents and teachers should think about the negative consequences too and take some measures to prevent them.
