[00:03.01]Should Children Use Internet as Early as Possible?
[00:06.87]It is not until recent years 
[00:09.16]that Internet composes an indispensable part 
[00:12.05]of our modern way of living. 
[00:14.78]Many children soon acquaint themselves 
[00:17.43]with this high technology 
[00:19.78]and it appears that they are encouraged by their parents 
[00:22.89]to use Internet as early as possible. 
[00:26.27]Today, it’s not surprising to catch sight 
[00:29.50]of a four-or-five-year-old child surfing online. 
[00:33.80]Divided opinions have been formed
[00:35.88]in light of children’s using Internet 
[00:38.34]at increasingly younger ages.
[00:40.81]On the one hand, 
[00:42.33]some people take it for granted 
[00:44.46]that children should be equipped 
[00:46.18]with the knowledge of Internet 
[00:47.94]in that it serves as a crucial tool for learning, 
[00:51.87]working or even living in the future. 
[00:54.89]In addition, they maintain
[00:57.20]that the earlier children start to use Internet, 
[01:00.45]the better experts they will become. 
[01:03.17]On the other hand, 
[01:04.46]others who hold different views 
[01:06.30]argue that for children Internet is Pandora’s Box. 
[01:10.46]Premature exposure is harmful, 
[01:13.26]not only physically but also intellectually. 
[01:16.76]Weighing up the two viewpoints above, 
[01:19.52]I’m inclined to agree with the latter one. 
[01:22.61]At their age, 
[01:23.90]children are supposed to enjoy outdoor activities 
[01:27.32]instead of clinging to the computer screen. 
[01:30.21]Besides, 
[01:31.43]children are very likely to be addicted to Internet, 
[01:34.99]which will affect their healthy growth. 
[01:37.68]In a word, despite its usefulness, 
[01:40.46]it’s not advisable for children to use Internet 
[01:43.80]at an early age.
