Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Response:
In today's modern world, children's daily use of computer can be more harmful than advantageous. As far as I am concerned, this is not entirely true. Computers are considered by many as one of the most useful invention of the 21st century, which benefits children’s of all ages, in their personal, academic and professional life.
From personal point of view, it is one of the invaluable resource for young people to explore the world. For instance, children use the internet to satisfy their curiosity about diverse topics are already becoming independent learners. Another reason is that playing computer games helps develop cognitive capabilities in young children, according to the research done in America, playing video games boost children’s learning, health and social skills.
From academic perspective, children have no choice but to be expert this technology. For example, when I was in university, students brought their laptops to take notes and exchange information. They wrote assignments, created different applications and developed databases. Children who embrace and experience these abilities are at a distinct advantage over others.
From professional viewpoint, nowadays almost every company has accepted computers as their necessity to complete their work more efficiently. While today most employers provides computer training to their staff, in the future they will aspect job applicants to be literate in these critical skills. Consequently, parents who encourage their child to use computers at an early age are in fact investing in their future career growth.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that computer as a technological tool is here to stay. The sooner children learn to use and adopt to this advancement the better it would be for their future.
