When it comes to computer use, it has negative effects on children because there are more drawbacks than benefits. I agree with that and examine about this issue.
There is an opinion that young people can acquire practical benefits through computers, including study materials and e-books when they study. In terms of homeschooling, computers have become a useful tool for both teachers and students who are not allowed to go to school. In addition, computer game can help youngsters relieve their stress after they finish a huge amount of study or homework if they play it only one or two hours. Therefore, it is true that computers provide academic and entertaining benefits for children.
However, we can not neglect negative sides of computers. First of all, the most serious problem caused by the use of computers can be addition. Young people are more likely to be addicted to the excessive computer use. This is because once they turn a computer on, there are a wide range of information and enticing contents on the Internet which attract them too keep stay in front of computers. Although students begin to use computers for the purpose of study, they end up becoming distracted and finding themselves doing other things such as computer games and chatting. Secondly, children are easily exposed to sexual and violent contents via Internet service. It has a negative influence on young people as well. In some cases, teenagers tend to commit crimes when they are confused between in the virtual world and the real world, because some of them are mentally damaged by the use of computer in the wrong way. Lastly, adolescents are prone to keep unfit and even obese, if they do not get up and do physical exercise.
In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, I believe that the positive effects of using computers are outweighed by the disadvantages.
