Harmful effects of watching TV all time…

Television plays a major role and influence in children’s lives. While television can entertain, inform, keep children company, it may influence them in undesirable ways.

Time spent watching television takes away time from important activities such as reading, school life, family interaction. Children also imbibe information that may be incorrect or inappropriate. They often consider the fantasy on TV as reality. They are influenced by certain commercial ads and then force their parents to buy them these things. At times violent shows can also prove that fighting is right. Children learn this and then start fighting over petty issues. At times they become aggressive than usual. They get addicted to television which makes them unhealthy.

Parents should take strict and big steps towards this huge issue. Violent shows should be restricted. Hours of watching TV ought to be limited. Parents should interact with them so that they don’t start watching television to cure their boredom. They must explain them about advertisements and shouldn’t fulfill their wrong demands. They should be encouraged to watch discovery channels, educational channels by teachers as well as parents. If parents and teachers will take adequate steps side by side, we can save the future of our society from going in wrong direction.

Students using internet

Nowadays life without internet cannot be imagined. Students also use internet for playing games, chatting, video calling and for many more things. But these things are having negative effect on them. Their marks are deteriorating and they are drifting away from family and friends.

Students should use internet for gaining knowledge, reading about something, knowing about what is going around them rather than whiling away their time on it. Schools can play a monumental role in this issue. They should encourage students to study at home, tell them about games which can teach them while playing. They should organize knowledge quiz and competition relating to general knowledge questions, this will encourage students to surf for news. Vocabulary can be also taught by surfing.

If teachers and students will work together we can make India more literate.

Computers- Hazards and benefits

Computers are sophisticated electronic devices which can perform many of the functions of human brain. A computer is a wonderful and unique machine that excites and fascinates children and adults alike.

Needless to say, the use of computers covers a range of areas. They make calculations much faster and accurate than any human brain. The use of computers in banks and offices increases efficiency, accuracy and rapidity. Modern, more advanced computers can perform incredibly. They can churn out calculations at the rate of more than five million a second. Computers are being used at railway stations, airports, libraries, shops, offices etc. apart from various banks. Media of all kinds and communication are also greatly influenced by the use of computers. At both, personal and professional level, computers come in handy by way of facilities like e-mailing, media player, net surfing, web searching etc.

However, there is a negative side to the computers as well. Workers and their organisations feel that computerization is likely to lead to unemployment as computers, being faster, leave the slower human behind. It has also been observed that it causes muscular and psychological stress. The glare of dazzling light, necessary for the use of computers, injures the eyes and the injury sometimes prove to be a serious one. At functional day to day level, too computers have proved to be a major obsession with our youth who tend to get distracted from their more essential task in their attraction towards computers. The students’ academic and artistic pursuits somehow are at times sacrificed.

What is required is to avail all of the benefits of computers with a sense of discrimination. Whenever, the access of it looks hazardous we have to limit its use intelligently.
