We are interested in your views on this topic. You can contribute to the debate by sending us a short
article with your opinion.
Nowdays technology is revealed THOUGHT to be essential. Both for work activities, and to
communicate, but also for leisure. Even young people are using SPENDING more time in front of a
screen. It is said that they are spending more time each day on their computers/ELECTRONIC
GADGETS than watching television. Is this a change for the better or it takes DOES IT HAVE lots of
MANY (PIU’ FORMALE) drawbacks?
First of all, I would like to remind YOU (REMIND VUOLE SEMPRE UN COMPLEMENTO) that both
activities are harmful for children’S and teenagers’ health. Infact, they lead us to stay home and be
sedentary in front of a screen for a long time, instead of getTING out in the outdoors and socialize
with other people.
However, some people say that television is bad both for body and mind, in particular for children,
because it exposes them to a high cardio-metabolic risk and ‘turnS off’ your brain. On the other
hand, surfing the Internet needs imagination, logical thinking and knowledge. Moreover, young
people have the possibility to choose what they want to watch and read, almost unlimited.
YOU ARE MAKING GOOD POINTS HERE!
To conclude, technology in general is dangerous for our health, but if we make it good use OF IT, it
can be useful, especially computers, because they offer a wide range of activities and information
FOR US TO DO OR EXPLORE.
