Nowadays some children tend to spend too much time in the digital landscape. Although some programs on the Internet may not provide children with useful knowledge, I believe that some areas can benefit and broaden children’s mind.
On the one hand, in the digital era, children can often find any type of the content without necessary age restrictions, including fights. These types of the content may sometimes be very cruel and affect negatively children’s behavior. For example, a young person can see a popular video how teenagers fight with others and may want to do the the same in order to be popular, because they receive a big number of likes and comments on this video. Such a content may not only provide children with unnecessary knowledge, but also can destroy their mental health and lead to diseases like depression. On the other hand, there is a big number of educational and informative videos for free. This can include videos about environment, different countries and animals. While watching this videos, children can get initial knowledge about our world and find an area, which they are interested. This can improve their intellectual abilities and skills. Owing to this, when a child goes to primary school, he may find it easy to perceive information, as his horizons may be already quite expanded.
To sum up, despite a probability that young people can find violent content on the Internet, digital platforms are likely to help children to develop their knowledge about the world and help in education.
