Online reading habit is good for children and youngsters who are looking to enhance their knowledge and stay updated with the recent information. However, too much dependency on e-reading can kill the innocence in the minds of young ones. Recently, a Bollywood superstar’s young son has been arrested due to being caught in a drug-related case. Irrespective of whether he is innocent or proven guilty, the news outlets have put up too many reports on how he has been arrested and when he will get bail or not, etc.

There are many good things too that happen in the world but hardly get reported because the media machinery works only on the hits that views that the sensational and trending news get. Unfortunately, this system of the media makes it difficult for readers to understand the difference between reality and cooked-up stories just for the sake of PR, publicity, and TRPs.
We need to come out alive from this online circus and thus, children and youngsters should be guided on what works for them and what doesn’t. They need to be taught more of human values like empathy, patience, tolerance, peace, love, compassion, and that you can do only if you guide them to read online to a minimal extent and meet more real people outside to know their life stories. Every PDA on social media doesn’t end up in a marriage and neither every argument on news channels ends up in divorce between the couples. This kind of wise knowledge needs to be imparted by encouraging them to read positive media stories.
