Topic: new technologies have changed the way children spend their free
time. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
Nowadays, the world is developing with high pace and technologies is
becoming greater than ever; however, several individuals are arguing that new
technologies are changing their private life noticably, especially the younger
generation as how have the way children manage their time changed. Despite
some obvious disadvantages of this trend, I believe that these are outweighed
by the advantages.

On one hand, there are several drawbacks when children taking too much of their
time of smart devices. The first drawback is that by this way, they will slowly form
a sedentary lifestyle, which has negative impact on their overall body such as
suffering from various of health problems, heart attack or obisity due to the lack
of daily exercises for example. Another negative effect is that when children
spending way too much their time on new technologies, they will become adddict
to it and this; however, does not bring back any advantages but serious issues and
anger management. According to VN Express news, 4 out of five children
accessing to smart devices since an early age have difficulties in manage their
emotions as they are always feel angry toward people and family members.

On the other hand, I also believe benefits are more significant than
disadvantages. Firstly, a noticable number of parents claimed that their children
can access to a remarkable amount of knowledge from the internet in a
controlable way and it is very helpful for their studies and other soft skills.
Secondly, if children can aware of managing their time in an appropriate way
since they are young, they are learning to be more independent in the future
without noticing it and certainly will help them a lot in their career. And finally,
most of schools and classes today use electronic devices teaching and studying
due to the current global pandemic so it is a good way to let children access to
these devices; however, under control of their parents.

In conclusion, I would argue that new technologies do not affect most of children
and brings more benefits than drawbacks.
