Q. New technologies have changed the way children spend their leisure time. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

We live in an age where technology has changed the way of life, especially for children. The modern world is equipped with many things that can affect the child's psyche both negatively and positively. However, the disadvantage of growing reliance on technology outweighs the benefits. This essay will discuss both the perspective in the upcoming paragraph.

To commence with the advantages, the Internet and multimedia are filled with a lot of information and updates that a child can use to develop their mind and learn new things in their free time. They can use this platform to explore just about anything and guide their path to success. For instance, many entrepreneurs often say that they are inspired by information available on the Internet. Moreover, places like social media will help them feel connected to the world and find out what they really want to achieve in their lives.

However, we cannot ignore the shortcomings of this glorious world. Children become addicted to games and social media, which causes them to develop health problems such as obesity and poor eyesight. They can sit in one place for hours, playing games and viewing explicit content. To illustrate, last year's data show that in India alone, 60% of teenagers are overweight and major health problems. In addition, because of the Internet, they spend less time with their parents and friends, become impolite and rude in their behavior, which further worsens the connection between them.

To conclude, advances in technology have both pros and cons. But it's clear that disadvantages destroy more things that advantages can't fix.
