Thanks to the development of computers and mobile phones, people nowadays are able to connect with others more easily. While many others said that this has also affected to the youth’s reading and speaking ability. Personally, I strongly agree with this statement by two reasons.
First of all, most adolescents spend most of their time on the screen to connect with outside world in stead of going out, meeting or talking. The most common communication method they are keen on is sending messages which are usually written in short and informal form of language. Therefore, their habits of reading and writing skills lately are influenced by this trend which may make them find challenged to writing an essay or reading references at length. Furthermore, while using these devices to keep in touch with others, teenagers even prefer to shorten the messages by using text language which is not official and after the spread of this, our official one may be replaced in the future.
Secondly, young people can access to a huge sources of information with a computer or a smart phone connected to Internet. These appliances can even create an essay in 5 second by using AI which is relied on by the youth whenever they are given assignments. As a result they become disable to write by themselves.
In conclusion, I believe that the youth should limit their screen time to improve their reading comprehension and writing skill by reading books or writing essays.
