Today children are surrounded by electronic devices such as personal computers, tablet computers, and smart phones, and they learn to use them at a very early age. What are advantages and disadvantages of this situation?

In the contemporary era,

due to

the modern technological world, kids are surrounded by electronic

devices

such

as computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Compared to the previous generation, nowadays,

children

are able to use these

devices

at a very young age, which concerns specialists, parents, teachers, and other

people

related to

this

area. The question raised here is: what are the advantages and disadvantages of

this

early usage of these

devices

? On one hand, there are several harms associated with the early usage of

devices

. The first and most important thing to mention is the physical damage over time. Physically, playing outside and doing sports with

children

of the same age benefits them in many ways. Obviously, the long-term usage of electronic

devices

harms the eyes and

also

increases the chance of obesity, which is especially increasing these days among

children

.

For instance

, a kid playing video games more often than their peers is more likely to wear glasses and

also

have overweight issues.

In addition

, another disadvantage is that a kid who is more occupied with

devices

has weaker connections with

people

and friends. Needless to mention, communication skills can be learned from

and making friends at a young age.

Therefore

, missing

this

opportunity damages the kid's social skills and self-esteem.

On the other hand

, it is obvious that the improvement of

technology

serves us in many ways, and

this

topic is no exception. There are a number of positives we can name in

this

area.

Firstly

,

children

data. No matter how rare or unknown a topic is, anyone can access books and data written about it.

Thus

, for

children

who are interested in science or other fields or want to access more books and data,

technology

makes

this

work much easier for them. The second thing to mention regarding the benefits is that

children

nowadays are less likely to lose connection with friends or

people

who do not live nearby anymore.

For instance

, it used to be common to lose touch with a person who changed schools, even if they shared many interests.

Although

it is still not possible to meet them very often,

technology

has made it easier to stay connected than before.

To sum up

,

technology

serves us in many ways,

such

as providing us with a lot of information in various formats and enabling connections with various

people

.

However

, it has its own drawbacks, which can include physical
