Question

Speech for debate as against: computer education should be provided to children from class 1

Answer 1

Good morning everyone. I am going to express my views against the motion ‘Computers: A Boon or A Bane. Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his poem 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ wrote, 'Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink'. This expression aptly describes the plight of misuse of computers and information technology. In the modern context of the above quoted lines we can say there is 'Internet, internet everywhere, not much good use of it.' I strongly feel early exposure of children to computers has many disagreeable effects. The foremost is the adverse effect on health, especially their eyes.

The children should not be taught computers from Ist class. The easy accessibility of all types of information on the Internet through computers may do more harm than good to the younger generation. There is no denying the fact that equally good and useful information related to studies, education, books and health is freely available, but unfortunately the number of children who access these useful sites is far less compared to those who access pornographic, video games, songs and other related sites! How many of us have seen a youngster using his smartphone to surf an educational site? I know the answer! Very rarely! Our youth predominantly use Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube, and similar sites on their high-end smartphones and tabs; not any educational or other informative sites!

They may become so much addicted to these useless, time-wasting sites, that they might sacrifice their study and research hours for the sake of their fruitless, pleasure seeking pursuits! They might going astray! They need to be shown the right way. Internet and computers in themselves are wonderful reference source, but they need to be handled with care, which the children and the youth need to be trained into.

The need of the hour is strict monitoring. At this tender age the youth should be provided controlled access to the internet. Sites such as show pornographic stuff, violence, aggressive games, etc should be inaccessible to the youth. On the other hand, online libraries, study reference material, counseling, meditation, healthy living life style, positive mind building games related to studies, encyclopedias, etc should be provided free of cost. These basic steps taken can really save many youngsters from taking the path to crime and violence. 

So, keeping in my mind the disadvantages of computer exposure at early age might influence children’s life adversely. Computer should be taught only at middle classes.

Answer 2

In the present workplace, individuals are progressively reliant on the utilization of Technology, particularly PCs. Having attractive occupation aptitudes implies that you should be capable with a PC. Besides, it's the absence of PC training in schools which is making youngsters settle on poor choices with regards to utilizing person to person communication and being "computerized residents." Computer recreations help innovativeness, dexterity and advance critical thinking aptitudes that can be utilized outside of the advanced domain. 

PCs are driving development and making businesses for those that know how to program them. On the off chance that kids are the pillars of our country, at that point, we ought to be reinforcing those pillars through training. With the way that that the world and industry are moving, PC training is more critical than any time in recent memory. Getting youngsters keen on PCs at an early age will build their odds of entering a PC related field as a grown-up. Acing PC innovation at a more youthful age will make research and school work less demanding for that youngster as they advance through the instructive system.
