Is it good for children to start using computers from an early age and spend long hours on them? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

Nowadays,

computer

literacy is a must to deal with the day to day activities. It is popular that kids are stepping into using electronic

devices

and passing extended hours on those

devices

from a small age. There are both pros and cons to spending time on these electronic items from the beginning. In

this

essay, I will discuss some of the reasons why interacting with computers for a

child

is good and some of the drawbacks that they have to face. 

To begin

with, one of the main positives of

from a young age is that the

child

can cope with fast-forwarding technology.

For example

, these days teachers are uploading assignments and homework to the internet as students have to download, complete and upload it for corrections. If offspring cannot do

by themselves, they have to

support from an expert. So

computer

literacy makes someone more rounded as a person.

Secondly

, the subject of ICT has become a main subject for students from grade one to grade 11. Not only English and Mathematics but

also

ICT have occupied a huge position in the school syllabus.

In addition

, a

child

with good technological skills with pc is considered a techie in schools these days. So having an interaction with PCs will be really helpful for a student to cope with.  Turning to the opposite side of the argument, spending long hours on electronic

devices

can lead to addiction and thereby will direct to social isolation.

Although

expertise in new technology will bring good prospects in the relevant field,

this

will tend to children ignore friends, family and pets.

Therefore

,

this

will impact kids' mentality. Another issue is that a longer period of screening time can cause eye problems and sight issues.

For instance

, these electronic items are emitting harmful rays for the eyes which can directly affect the

child

's eyesight. 

To conclude

, expertise in electronic

devices

will be beneficial for youngsters in the future. You need to weigh up the pros of computers for day-to-day life and education

while

mitigating the cons of health and mental issues by using electronic

devices

wisely. Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of

computer

literacy eventually outweigh any negatives.
