Children and Computers
Nowadays it has become clear that the Internet may have a bad influence on our daily life because it changes people’s social behaviour, especially the social behaviour of children.
In our times, when a lot of families have comput­ers and (1)..., children should certainly learn how to do it. They should know how to get informa­tion, how they can buy something (2) ... . If they don’t learn to use the Internet when they are young, they will have great difficulties later. The reason is that the Internet is a very powerful medium (3)
Meanwhile, there is a certain danger in the Internet. Children easily become its competent users, but they don’t know how (4) ... any longer. The Internet will never replace real life, real friends, real communication and children should be told about it. Parents should not just (5) ... and say “Oh well, that’s the Inter­net, go on, have some fun and be quiet.” The Internet was not made for children and so it should not be used as a babysitter. There is so much harmful material on the Internet, that children should not be allowed (6)... all by themselves. Absolutely the same can be said about television, which also has a tendency to replace real life. I believe that people, who watch too much television, forget how to be members of a social community.
