First of all, I think electronic devices do have the positive effects of our lives. For example, there are many automated tools that can improve productivity and efficiency. However, there are also negative effects of electronic devices. For example, information online is not always reliable, and it can weak the connection of people. Also, if we use them for long time, then it may be harmful to our health. Therefore, we should use electronic devices responsibly.
