More and more families have computers in their homes. What advantages and disadvantages do home computers have for children? Should parents restrict the amount of time their children spend using the computer?

It is quite common these days for a lot of families to have

computers

in their homes and some people believe that should

parents

restrict the amount of

time

their

children

spend using the

computer

.

This

essay will discuss the benefits, and drawbacks of

this

trend and personally, I completely disagree with

this

view for a variety of reasons. There are some benefits and drawbacks that

computers

have for

children

. On the one hand, there are several reasons why families having

computers

in their homes is beneficial. A common reason is that the

computer

can help

children

study

easily.

This

is because, nowadays, there are a lot of software the

computer

can help

children

learn better

such

as a combo of Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is very helpful to present ideas more easily.

On the other hand

, there are a number of disadvantages of

computers

that people should take into account. One obvious drawback is that

children

can use

computers

to play video games leading to the result in

study

decrease.

For example

,

last

week, my uncle decided to sell his

computer

just because his son played video games all day and got low scores in school. I completely disagree that should

parents

restrict the amount of

time

their

children

spend using the

computer

.

Firstly

, their

children

do not have enough

time

to

study

.

This

means that, when

parents

restrict the

time

their

children

spend using the

computer

, their

children

have to

study

quickly which leads to them don't understand lessons deeply. In fact, modern social lessons need more

time

to be analysed and understood correctly.

Secondly

, their

children

cannot use software on a

computer

professional.

This

is because they don't have

time

to practice and they will have some difficulties using them when they need them in the future.

For example

, I learned software when I was a kid and now it is very helpful when I

study

at university. In conclusion, home

computers

for

children

could bring about certain benefits, but their negative consequences should not be overlooked. In my opinion,

parents

should have some suitable solutions for the

time

spent on

computers

to help

children

study

better.
