Computers have become an indispensable gadget in every life field, especially in education. Even though there are both positive and negative aspects to it based on the learning experience of the students and some using it for cheating purposes. In the following lines, both the positives and negatives of computers will be thoroughly discussed. One benefit of computers is to open a huge gate of information and access to a vast amount of resources, but the main advantage is the ability to provide audio-visual content to students. Students were limited to the books they had or on library and they were not able to observe or watch any scientific process included in the books.
