Internet And Video Game Arguments




There are many young people around the world who spend too much time surfing the net and playing video games, I’m going to discuss some of the problems and solutions.

There are many problems that are caused by using the computer too much. Young people concentrate on gamed more then their studies, people who play a lot of video games will have physical and mental problems, people get information and other things from the net that they shouldn’t watch or know about. There are people who concentrate on games and net more then their own family. When people are on these things, they do not listen to anybody and they would become mad when they are distracted.

There are solutions to these problems. Parents ant other people should give the young ones time to use the pc for games or net. They should always study for an hour or two before they are allowed to use the pc. The young ones should always take a break from what they are doing, to have some exercise for healthier body, never disturb them until there time is up for using the computer.

Video games and internet are fun in life but there are times when it is dangerous for our future young ones.






TV Argument

Many children around the world watch too much TV which leads to many things, what are the problems? And how to prevent them?

Problems:
There are many problems from watching too much TV. Children will learn things at an earlier age, they try to copy what they see on TV for fun, and children who watch aggressive things will learn and become more aggressive when they grow up. Many children around the world who are always watching TV have weak eyesight, mental problems and physical problems. While children are watching junk on TV, they could use their precious time in exercising and studying.



Solutions:
There are many solutions, one of the main ones is that parents should reduce the timing of watching TV and they should lock the bad channels with a code so, that the children wont learn stuff that they shouldn’t know. Always don’t leave children to watch aggressive or horror movies. While watching TV they should take every half an hour break from TV, to protect their eyesight. Parents should always make their children do some exercise, to keep them healthy and energetic. Parents should leave their children watch educational channels or they should use their precious time by studying or helping in the house.





Parents and people should always take care of children because they are our future. TV is a device to entertain us in life. It has a lot of good things but all good things have problems.
