    their own families, eventually turned them to be an anti-social person especially at the family
    gathering. Also, they tend to have a poor social skills. As we all know, social skills refer to the
    communication skills that allow people to interact effectively and appropriately with others. People
    with poor social skills always have tendency of high levels of stress and loneliness in their lives. This
    is not good as high level of stress and loneliness in lives can lead one to depression and worse,
    suicide.

    In conclusion, technology and gadgets has it own advantages and disadvantages according
    on how someone uses it. Children should learn how to manage their times on technology and
    gadgets so that their life will not badly affected. Remember, you can’t make an omelet without
    breaking some eggs. So always use something wisely as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of

    computer and the use of technology should only be determined by its ability to support and deepen
