Your Answer ▼ With a wide use of the internet among young people, some
people say that it has more negative side effects than merits. I do agree with
this, observing some of the bad examples of using a computer every single day.
It is obvious that there are some benefits for young generations
to take advantages of having a computer. Having a huge amount of information on
the Internet, youngster is no longer required to go to libraries every time when
they need significant sources. It allows them to save much time, effort and
money as they are able to have it with just one computer. From my own experience,
appropriate use of a computer has been helpful for me to relieve much stress, exploiting
entertainment services in a computer such as games, movies and shopping.
Nevertheless, it is undeniable that due to its drawbacks, spending
too much time on computer will bring disasters into children’s development. This
is because the more time children waste with a computer, the less time they
spend with their family and friends, which makes it harder for them to develop communication
and socializing skills with others in a real life. Being exposed to a large
amount of obscene and violent information would be one of the worst results of
it as those harmful materials cannot completely be banned online. What is more,
if the constant electronic waves affect children, it exerts negatively influences
on children’s brain, which is highly related to their memory development.
In conclusions, it is true that there are some benefits for
children to have a computer. However, I agree with that there will be a lot of
side effects when young people use it every day. |
