Computer do not help children in learning more efficiently. On the contrary, the use of computers has a negative effect on children’s physical and mental development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


Computers are inevitable part of almost all walks of human life now and learning is highly influenced by these machines in the present. I completely agree that they help children to learn more efficiently.
Computers facilitate learning in innumerable ways. One of them is the visual auditory applications. They make learning easier and even amusing for children. With every passing day computers are enriched with new software applications that incredibly aid learning and expression. For example, students of geography and cartography are all ways thrilled to see earth on screen with the help of google earth.

                Moreover, it can also be of great help when one is connected to the world-wide web or as we commonly call it the internet. Students can get lads of information related to their subject. Internet enriches their knowledge and improves their academic performance.
However, some people argue that usage of computer is harmful to the body of children. It is scientifically proven that excessive usage of computer can damage their eyes and can cause muscular disorders. Also, long hours on the internet might mean harmful lack of social contact but, like we give children a lesson in responsibility in all other facets of life it is important that the parent and teacher in us guide them to balance in their daily routine. While taking care that their upbringing is enriched with the opportunities computers present them with, the young generation is to be saved from physical and psychological problems that come about with extreme behavior.
Thus, I reiterate that computers are integral to   children’s learning process and with adequate precautions, we can certainly minimize their drawbacks and optimize benefits.

              Finally access usage of computers has its own disadvantages. It is also proven that excessive dependence on technology hinders the psychological growth in children and they may become incapable of resolving complex problems.



On the other hand, some people argue that children already study many subjects in school. If we facilitate them with the technology of translating languages, they will have less academic burden to deal with. Next, they also assert that translation software is becoming more competitive with every passing day. Millions of people are already using it in their everyday life.

In conclusion, I think using computers for translating is a good idea but children should be taught languages in order to acquaint them with different cultures and grant them a capacity which helps them wherever they are in the world.
