Some people think that
--------------------------
Excess of everything is Bad is
proven fact and computers, internet and mobile phones are no exception to it.
Proliferation of computers and
smart phones have brought into proliferation of comforts for the human beings.
Even in the education sphere, computers are the paramount. Now almost all activities
like shopping, banking, rail, road, sea and air booking, Health monitoring and
maintenance. Everything is done on computers. This has resulted into a
sedentary life style with no physical exercise at all. This all has resulted
into health problems like weight gain, body pains, eyesight weakness and many
more.
Students operate keyboard of
computers for writing hence no pen and paper work. Therefore with the time they
lose practice of writing with hand. As far as reading skills are concerned, I
feel there is hardly any difference student reading a paper book or on computer
screen and reading skill is not adversely affected it may rather improve.
Indeed excessive use of SMS on
mobile phones has adverse affect on a student’s language, grammar and spelling
knowledge. E.g. we will come tomorrow= (V vil cum 2 moro), See you later = (c u
l8r), Thank you = (ty), You come to school = (u cum 2 skol) etc. This has badly
spoiled knowledge of English Language among school and collegians. Students
never care to learn spellings and grammar. Many people mistake themselves to be
expert in the language because their SMS are interpreted correctly and replied.
Besides, people keep sticking
to their mobile instruments even when they are talking to face to face this is
totally out of etiquette. Using mobile phones while driving cause fatal
accidents. Still however the craze seems to override the risk which is bad.
In nutshell excessive use of
mobiles and computers adversely affect the writing skills and not the reading
skills as explained above.
