In our daily life, there are various questionsthat are worth consideration. Confronting such an issue whether playing computeris a waste of time and should be banned to children, how should we think? Somepeople commonly respond with an yes, others, however, conversely hold theopposite view. From personal perspective, I cling to the later one.
To begin with, nobody could deny the factthat computer games could cultivate the children's intelligence. As it is knownto all, interest, creativity, imagination and reaction, are among the keyfactors in youth development while they are also skills what the computer gamescould train. Under this circumstance, computer games would undoubtedly be astrong addition to the traditional education. I can find numerous example tojustify this opinion, among which Bill Gates is definitely a typical that hedeveloped strong interest in computer and then started to learn to program withgreat creativity, eventually, he founded Microsoft.
Besides, playing computer games couldrelieve children from the overwhelming pressure of study. It is widely acceptedthat being over suppressed by study has become on of the most serious threat tochildren's health whereas computer games has proved to be a effective cure.
In addition, the deduction above justenhanced the rationality of my position from several chief aspects and I cancontinue the discussion in other domains, such as diversity of life and socialinteraction. Because on the one hand computer games make the children’s life moreinteresting and diversified; and on the other hand, they give the children acommon topic to share with each other.
Nevertheless, I cannot omit thedisadvantages of playing computer games. Naturally, playing computer gameswould be time consuming and may harm the eyes. However, those positive effectin the cultivation of the students' intelligence obviously outweigh those defects.What's more, the disadvantages could be fixed under a well regulated scheduleand proper behavior to use computers.
Taking all above into consideration, I amagainst the statements that playing computer games is a waste of time and thatchildren should be restricted from playing them.
