Why is technology so harmful to us? Isn’t it supposed to help us advance our world? Yes, it does help makes the world more advanced and faster, but it also makes people behave morally wrong and become more dependent of technology. The advancement of technology can’t be stopped but doesn’t mean we can’t restrain ourselves from being completely dependent and obeying it. The advancement of technology corrupts young mindset and education.
The essay “Why Games Are Good for You” written by Steven Johnson, was written not to say that video games are any better or worse than reading books but simply to clear the misconception that video games are a hindrance to people who play them when it comes to a normal education or learning the social skills people need to live a healthy life, Johnson believes nothing can replace the benefits of reading a book and the written word. However, video games appear to deliver information that would bore the average student in a way that entices them to learn more and keeps them interested in something ordinarily dull. Johnson believes it is because games give people visual rewards for our time spent that books or other forms of media aren’t able to deliver. For example, in certain games such as “SimCity” a user is encouraged to build a thriving metropolis, which teaches about taxes, population, economics and other subjects that must be considered in order to be progressive in the game. Video games require the player to memorize the information they take in, use their cognitive skills to solve a puzzle in the game or use their sensory skills to complete a task in addition to other benefits that haven’t been mentioned.
It is an extremely popular pastime among children and teens, though most parents see it as a time-waster and a negative influence.

Enhance Mentality Playing video games gives the brain a real workout. It can help improve and enhance a broad range of mental skills.
3. Socially Children have many friends at school, at their neighborhood, and at home. When children start being addict to violent video games, they would not talk to them. Hence they would play their video games and lose friends. They would be violent like the video game their playing.
It's a great stress reliever because I usually play it with my friends and it takes my mind off everything and makes me happy. Sometimes if I've been in the house too long I'll take my basketball and go to my hoop I in the back yard and do a couple layups. Lasting I love computer games, not many people know my alter ego but I'm a computer nerd. I play games like league of legends, path of exile, minecraft, hammerwatch, and many MANY more. Anyways video games are probably the best stress reliever for me even though basketball may be my favorite because it's like you can be in that alternate reality when you play them.
In this essay I will be talking about how children are affected by television. Although many parents these days do not want their children to watch television, there are a lot of educational shows available today. Many parents may not want their children to watch modern television, and I would have to tell those parents that there are some shows out there these days that are very educational and they are aimed towards the young. Watching the educational cartoons can be very helpful for a child’s mind. There can be positive results emotionally, physically, and psychologically.
So, what do some parents do to get their so-called "relaxation" time? They prop their kids in front of the television. in another room and turn it to a cartoon station. This is one major problem, because parents think that all cartoons on a cartoon station are appropriate for children. That is not true, not all cartoons are appropriate for children to watch.
There are people who say that this generation is the dumbest because of lack of ability to focus for long periods of time. Also people might say that technology is making this generation lazy. Others might believe that this generation isn’t the dumbest. They might think that technology is helping us adapt to the world around them due to the fact that the world is run by technology. Even though this generation might be losing some ability to focus for long periods of time, technology is helping us adapt to the ever-changing world.
Children who are older may be able to understand the difference between fantasy and reality a little better, therefore older children should be able to play games at a parents discretion. Some experts say,” kids are attracted to video games not so much by the violence, but because the games present puzzles or problems to solve (Sherry 1). The media and many other angry parents like to find a source to blame such as video games. Although video games are very entertaining and becoming more of a virtual reality the truth
Parents worry more and become overly protective over their children. Having parents that are over protective have children stay inside which leads to being on their computer with their social media, online gaming or whatever they may be doing on the computer. Many youths in America are so obsessed with what people think about them on their social media account that they will post pictures of what people would like just so they can get many likes. Others will even add people that they do not know on their social media account just
