P1 In today's modern world, computers are an essential part of everyday life. Around the
globe, children often use computers from a very young age. Although it is important for
children to participate in various well-balanced activities, children who use the computer
daily are actually developing skills for future success. The reasons why these children would
become successful adults are personal, academic, and professional.
P2 From a personal point of view, computers are an invaluable resource to help young
people explore the world around them. For example, children who use Internet to satisfy their
curiosity about diverse topics can learn a lot about the world. They can learn school subjects
like math, science and a foreign language. Not only school subjects are available for them to
learn online, they can also learn how to cook different kinds of foods, take pictures, and learn
foreign cultures.
P3 From an academic viewpoint, computers are necessary tools to help students study in
school. For instance, students brought their laptops to school to help them study. They use
them to take notes, do research and exchange information. They wrote assignments, created
presentations and developed databases. Children who build early confidence and experience
in these abilities are at a distinct advantage over those who have not.
P4 From a professional perspective, the computer has found a permanent place in the
workplace. Corporations nowadays expect prospective job applicants to already possess
computer skills. Most companies require their employees to have some Microsoft Office
skills. Consequently, parents who encourage their child to use the computer for a reasonable
period of time daily are in fact investing in the child's future career.
P5 In conclusion, there is no doubt that the computer as a technological tool is here to
stay. The sooner children become computer-literate, the better for many aspects of their
future lives.
