However, there is a body of opinion which claims that it has some advantages. In this essay, I will examine both sides of the view to seek a conclusion.
To begin with, it is undeniable that the increasing communication by computers and mobile phones would have a bad effect on training young people’s reading and writing skills. For example, when the young generation contact with their friends online, they would just type on their keyboard instead of holding a pen and writing by themselves.

At the same time, nevertheless, this could improve people’s relationship and raise the communicating efficiency. In the final analysis, therefore, one can only conclude that the positive effect of this phenomenon outweigh the negative ones.
