我倾向于同意儿童每天在电脑上花费太多时间会对他们产生负面的影响。 I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. 其部分原因是不论儿童为何使用电脑，长时间坐在电脑屏幕前，都会对儿童的视力和坐姿有害。 This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for. 人们主要关心的与吸引儿童的电脑活动的类别有关。这些通常是电子游戏，它们往往非常激烈甚至暴力。并且玩家通常是游戏中的“英雄”，过多接触这类游戏会促使孩子变得以自我为中心，且对他人不敏感。 The main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children.

Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual
