ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES OF A COMPUTER...

This device has many positive sides but also many negative issues. It sure does give out alot of information globally but if it is used wrongly or abused it can cause problems.

 


Schools these days rely too much on this device rather than encouraging children to go to the librarys and actualy having the skills of searching for information from books.
Parental guidance is a great issue in this era as alot of children these days are left unsupervised with free access to the internet, leading to quite afew problems.......
