Modern technologies play a vital role in contemporary life. Certain individuals consider that utilizing PCs and mobile devices effectively for communication has a detrimental effect on teenagers’ reading and writing skills. I partly agree with this opinion; modern devices have some advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, I believe that there is a reason why some people argue with this idea, owing to the fact that nowadays young people spend most of their time with new devices. That is why they cannot enhance new skills and do not pay attention to their educational skills such as reading and writing. Teenagers chat with their friends using modern devices such as computers, phones, to name a few, due to this they lose writing skills, and this atmosphere leads to teenagers spending their time alone. Also, this habit causes some health issues such as eye strain or psychological peoblems.
On the other hand, I believe that modern technology has some benefits and makes people’s lives easier. These devices help people find useful information such as images, videos and so on for their projects or presentations without spending extra time. This situation gives people a lot of time, and they increase some new skills like research ability or learning new words. For instance, if individuals are able to work with modern technologies, they can find employment with much less effort.
In conclusion, some people think that the increasing use of new devices for communication has a negative effect on young people’s literacy. In my opinion, modern devices are improving day by day, and they help people in positive ways.
