THE “NET GENERATION”

Quang is watering his garden and can`t wait to pick the ripe fruit. He spends most of his spare time looking after garden. Sounds great, doesn`t it? But his garden is a virtual one!

 In today`s world, teenagers rely on technology more than in the past. This can be a problem because using computers too much may have harmful effects on both their minds and bodies. They prefer watching TV and playing computer games to reading books, perhaps because they don’t have to think and imagine as much. They don’t join clubs or have hobbies and they don’t play sports. They sit in front of the computer all the time. They don`t get out of the house, even for a walk. They are in a world that doesn`t exist.

While Quang now knows the names of many plants, and his English seems to be improving as he chats with his “gaming friends” from all over the world, his parents are getting worried. They want him to get out more. They are even thinking of banning him from using the computer.
