COMPUTERSThe computer as we know it today had its

beginning with a 19th century English

mathematics professor name Charles

Babbage.

He designed the Analytical Engine and it

was this design that the basic framework of

the computers of today are based on.

Generally speaking, computers can be

classified into three generations. Each

generation lasted for a certain period of

time,and each gave us either a new and

Computer have so many advantages, With the invention of computer ,the world

is now more faster and things are becoming easier

Computer reduces the wastage of time.

Computer can give us important

information about what is happening in the world with the help of social

networking sites and other commercial sites.

WASTAGE OF TIME AND ENERGY:

Many children use computers without any positive purpose. They

play games and chat for a long period of time. It causes wastage of time

and energy. This generation is now spending more time on the social

media websites like Facebook, Twitter etc. or texting their friends all

night through smartphones which is bad for both studies and their

health. And it also has adverse effects on the social life.

IMPACT OF COMPUTERS

ON CHILDREN

The increasing amount of time children are spending on computers at

home and school has raised questions about how the use of computer

technology may make a difference in their lives—from helping with

homework to causing depression to encouraging violent behavior.

. Initial research suggests, for example, that access to computers

increases the total amount of time children spend in front of a

television or computer screen at the expense of other activities,

thereby putting them at risk for obesity.

At the same time, cognitive research suggests that playing computer

games can be an important building block to computer literacy

because it enhances children's ability to read and visualize images in

three-dimensional space and track multiple images simultaneously.

The limited evidence available also indicates that home computer use

is linked to slightly better academic performance.

Typing on the keyboard improves stimulation to brain.

Computer use, increases creative growth and artistic expression,

according to the United States Department of Commerce.

Children who have supervised computer access show greater

developmental gains in intellect, abstract thinking, dexterity and

memory capacity.

Playing video games for a short period each day could have a

positive impact on child's development, a study by Oxford University

suggests.

Granting children access to computers can actually diminish their

reading and math results, according to a new study.

Children or teens with a computer addiction can exhibit signs of

depression when away from the computer.

Teens who spend too much time playing computer games , particularly

those games with violent content ,risk having problems with aggressive

behavior, according to studies.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children notes that

the use of computer of kids under age 5 can lead to a host of behavioral

issues, such as lack of focus or problems with attention

CONCLUSION

Computers are like the two sides of a coin.

If it is used for the good, then you are in

the right side of the coin. We children

being the hopes of the future should be

wise enough to use the angel side of

computers ignoring the constant call from

the bad side. So let us all use computers,

one of the sweetest fruits of human

intelligence in the best way!
