2. Ideas for disagreeing:

a. The benefits of electronic media:

• Information from electronic media is easier for children to imbibe and digest.

  • The knowledge transferred by vivid pictures and animations on the screen can garner children's attention for an extended period of time.

  • Depending on the characteristics of programs or games, children are exposed to a wide range of knowledge by seizing images of worldwide landscapes or feel tastes of specialties in various geographical regions.

• Electronic media boosts several aspects of children's cognitive abilities.

  • Recent research has proved that gaming has numerous benefits and key among them, is the development of cognitive skills in both children and adults.

  • Playing games can improve coordination through mental stimulation by forcing users to coordinate their visuals, audial and physical movements. This also enhances memory, whether short-term or long-term.

  • Many children always believe that everything will eventually turn out to be good. They refuse to accept the fact that not every aspect of life can be in their favor.

• A significant drawback of reading is the lack of perspective from putting the material from reading into practice.

  • Without experiencing the knowledge on their own, children can find it hard to associate this knowledge to the real world.

• Reading still requires careful selection of material.
