While spending so much time with electronic devices such as computers or smart phones has become a normal part of today's children's life, it seems that not all parents are happy with this ever growing habit in the new generation. On the contrary, some parents try to encourage their children to start working with computers at an early age, and purchase the lastest model of such gadgets on at the first days of release is undeniable. Those who are in favor of providing computers or tablets for their children believe that this can help children to be prepared to work working with more sophisticated devices in future, and by in this way they improve their computer skills. A good example of this can be the famous C++ programmer David Gilmour who started programming with his commodore when he was only 13 years old. He started working with the commodore his father bought at his 9th year old birthday and released his first commercial software a few years later. Although it was not a complicated program, by the money he earned form that software he bought a new 186 PC and started developing more sophisticated software. Those who are against this idea believe that the demerits are more thanoutnumber the merits, and argue that most children are not able/unable to stay away from computer games and due to the high attraction of computer games, the more time children spend with such electronic devices, the more time they waste. In addition to this, this group of parents claim that children should not spend so much (of) time inactively, and physical activity is a mandatory part of children's health. They think children will have enough time to read and get/become familiar with computers and different kinds of smart phones when they grow grew up. In conclusion, I think children should spend most of their time playing in open areas with their peers rather than working with computers. I believe that everyone will get familiar with computers and tablets based on his/her need during adulthood, and the benefits of physical activities during childhood are is something irreplaceable.
