In my view, this has negatively impacted on health and studies of many children as compared to any benefits it might bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, there are some benefits of technology for youngsters. Today, technology has added more options to the range of entertainment sources. For example, children now play online games at home with other players in case of the bad weather or alternatively use social networking sites such as Facebook to talk to friends who are far away. In addition to this, technology has created many affordable ways of getting information online. Many young people now in their free time search and learn new things from online sources such as Google and YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the advantages above, I think technologies have more damaging effects. The first one is a sedentary lifestyle which results from spending too much time using the computer or mobile phone and neglecting some outdoor activities. This lifestyle is prone to entail many health problems such as obesity and damaged eyesight. Besides this, some healthy sports and arts activities can disappear in the future if there are too few people interested in them. Another outcome is poor academic performance in students when children become seriously addicted to the games and social networks and lose their attention in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, beneficial as new technologies have been for the quality of children\u2019s leisure time, I assert they are likely to cause more problems in the long run on physical condition and education of progeny. Therefore there is an urgent need to control these issues appropriately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this modern age, Children have altered their usual habits in their leisure time under the influence of new technology.
