It is said that progress always has positive effect. Some people say that progress of many aspects of our lives makes our living more comfortable. However, in my opinion, the statement above is not totally true considering problems caused by development of computer technology.
First of all, these days, many kids are addicted to computer games. In the past, children usually did outdoor activities, such as baseball, basketball, with their friends in their free time. On the contrary, as almost every family have a computer in their home, kids spend most of their time to play computer games. Naturally, they don't pay much attention to study. According to the survey, many of children these days want to be pro-gamers in their future, although a scientist was the most favorable job among kids in the past. In this sense, progressed computer system allows children to easily access to computer and this results in young people's addiction on computer games.
On top of that, development of the Internet let children be exposed to harmful contents. There are so many violent and sexual things on the Internet. Without parents' care, the young can go hazardous sites. The problem is that extremely violence movie clips on the Internet can affect children's mind setting. some people who watched these videos often in their childhood might be aggressive. As generally known, it is hard to change one's mind once it is set up in adolescence. So, how to go through that period is important factor in children's growing. Thus, the disadvantage of the Internet can make children have bad effect on their characteristic.
In a nutshell, because of the progress of the computer technology, children can access to dangerous contents on the Internet and concentrate on computer games. To sum up, progress can not be always beneficial for our lives. |
