Nowadays, in the innovated world, technological advancement plays a significant role by infiltrating all spheres of life, including education. It is considered that the frequent usage of computers for studying has a positive influence, while others support the opinion that it has more negative aspects. In
this
essay I will discuss both points of view, followed by a reasoned conclusion.
On the one hand, the people who support the point of the view that the use of computers for educational purposes causes more harm than beneficial impact. They guess so because of the appearing of excessive dependence on
this
method of learning.
In other words
, people state that reliance on
technology
is severely affecting the intellectual abilities of students as easy availability of information is making them less interested in research.
Furthermore
, they believe that when used,
for instance
, in elementary and secondary schools, it reduces the need to develop certain skills which were important in the past
such
as good handwriting.
As a result
of
this
, they consider the application of computers in schools as dangerous to learning.
However
, the proponents of
this
progress argue that
this
boon of
technology
should be welcomed for its positive impacts and upsides on the educational field and I agree with them. In
this
fast-paced world, when every student wants to have the latest information’s about his research and subjects,
this
information
technology
seems to be the only viable solution to their queries, as they can get everything with a single click.
For instance
, many studies have shown a remarkable surge in online study material search and purchasing of e-books, which shows the interest of the new generation in online surveys.
Additionally
, the usage of computer and other
technology
permits distance learning.
For example
, in several countries of the world, it is increasingly seen to take master's courses and obtain a degree without reporting to a physical building of a university.
Furthermore
, the internet
also
provides articles and journals that may be used and cited in different course works without going through the frantic search for books in libraries.
Thus
, it has been beneficial to the field of academics. Above mentioned examples show the beneficial contribution of
technology
in educational fields.
In conclusion, while it may be said that dependency on
technology
is undeniable causing some problems to students in their life, these are negligible as compared to their benefits and positive effect, which cannot be ignored. I strongly believe that if we use
this
device wisely, it can provide a lot of opportunities to students for better and more effective education. It is hoped that its use will continue to be of importance.
