Urgency of a problem.
The prompt development of new information technologies in the ХХ century has had a huge influence on many aspects of human activity. It is especially necessary to note the essential influence on the process of formation of a child’s personality by the occurrence of computers in educational institutions and entertainment clubs. The important factor is the absence of a system of effective help to a child with the choice of a program. This results in the “unguided” process of formation of child’s personality and his (her) intellectual development.
In computer classes at school, personal computers at home, the software package of educational and entertainment programs is to some extent supervised. On the other hand, independent Internet “browsing” gives young users a choice of direction of development.
The greatest concerns caused by a situation in computer clubs and game computer studios, where the time of interaction between the computer and a child passes in the form of so-called running and shooting games.
A computer game can be useful in the sense that a child can obtain basic typing skills, an improved reaction time, and a development of attention skills among other useful abilities. However, these types of game do not deliver to the child reason to think, therefore, their intellectual development begins to minimize or decrease. Ultimately, these games do little good for the child’s intellectual ability and usually can leave that child with only just a bad habit.
