现代科技带给儿童的不良影响
    如果过分依赖于现代科技，那么它就会给我们，尤其是我们的孩子带来不良影响。
    在孩子的成长期间，基础教育至关重要。计算机和科学工具不应取代学校教育。通过在学校的系统学习，孩子们都能学会如何学习，如何创造和如何做人。但是通过电脑孩子们只能学会如何简化生活。这样一来，他们就会变得很懒惰并且不愿动脑。
    除此之外，在电脑前停留时间过长不利于孩子们的健康。电脑射线会引起许多不适的感觉。例如：脱发、睡眠不良和头痒等等。最大的不利就是损伤视力。因此，有些孩子不得不从上小学就带眼镜。这对他们的成长是有害的。这种对电脑的依赖也会导致他们在生活上对父母的依赖。如果他们仅会用简单的工具来做他们枯燥的作业，那么他们怎么能独自做事?他们可能只是坐在电脑前，一动不动地要这要那，同时减少他们的身体锻炼。
    因此，现在是限制他们坏习惯的时候了。这不仅仅是为了他们，而且是为了整个国家的进步，应该发展他们的头脑。孩子们应该通过自身的努力来取得成功。
