Playing computer is only a waste of time, therefore children must be prevented to play them
As every medicine that is overused or misused can lead to aggrevating diseases, rather than curing them, computers also have both their negative sides and positive sides. Given the fact that computers have significantly contributed to the improvement of daily lives, it might be way too much to say that it is absolutely a waste of time to play with computers. However, it is also true that spending too much time with computers, especially for children, causes many side-effects that computer scientists failed to predict because it severely retards cognitive ability of children as well as becomes a culprit of obesity of kids.
Obviously, it is necessary for kids to obtain some computer skills in order for them to sruvive the highly advanced society that requires basic skills of computers. However, on the contraty to popular beliefs, the opposite phenomenon has occurred in a relatively short period of computer history. It severely blocked children's development of intelligence and cognition. For example, according to recent studies on comparing regular kids' reading ability and computer addicts' reading ability, they made clear that computer addicts' ability was far way back to the regular kids. Their reasons for that matter is that computers usually interfere in comprehension of texts and make the users concentrate only on visual images or moving images, so the computer addicts are more likely to be distressed by text mesages that do not carry visual images. As a result, kids easily get bored at the text messages and finally they lose their interest in reading books. Considering that virturally all academic information are based on traditional written forms-books, it is not so surprising at all. It is no doubt that the computer addicts do not keep up with their acdemic work.
In addition to the inability of reading books, another important matter that computer engineers should solve in the future is that computers make many kids overweight and sometimes lead to serious obesity of the kids. Let's take my nephew for example. He is severely overweight and never work out. Though he personality and overall lifestyle is regular and fine, he spends a considerable amount of time on computer games. In some cases, he wakes up in the middle of night and burns the midnight oil. His parents-my brother tried every possible ways to solve the matter because my nephew was diagnosed to do mandatory exercise at least three hours a day from his doctors, otherwise, he might come down with the diabetes in the near future. In spite of the efforts my brother made, there have been no sign of improvements of my nephew's everyday routines. He always remains right in front of his computer desk and sometimes he does not notice the fact that I am near his desk until I knock the monitor. As such, I am sure it is not the only problem of my nephew. There are millions of children who suffer from such a formidable habit all over the world.
All things considered, computers cause numerous concerns thesedays. Since computers have kids focus on instant information and they do not teach how to be patient when studying, it has caused undesirable consequenes; on the one hand, they force kids to stay away from books; on the other hand, they drive kids to have many complications caused by spending long hours in front of computers.
