Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.

Computers have become an essential part of our life. In

this

computer age, they have become our window to the broader world. We have started using computers in all parts of our daily life, including education. Many people are of the opinion that

this

is a positive development, but there are groups of people who are of the thought that

such

reliance on computers is a negative development. It's an undeniable fact that computers have changed our education in a dramatic fashion.

This

gives students and teachers access to data from all across the globe. Search for information has never been easier as more and more universities are digitizing their entire libraries to make them accessible over the internet to their students. Computers have made collaboration between educators spread across the globe feasible. Teachers can now able to interact with students remotely.

For example

, there are several universities that allow you to do a certain number of classes over the internet.

However

, Not everyone believes that all

this

movement is positive. There are some who think that computers have taken away human interactions. They are worried that dependency on computers will not only reduce brain stimulation, but

also

make people lazy as they would use computers to do even simple chores.

For example

, a study in the UK showed that students who are regular users of computers remembers less about the history when compared to students who uses computers infrequently. In my opinion, the use of computers in education is indeed a shift in the positive direction. Computers are there to support students and educators with their routine work so that they could put their focus and intellect on more important matters.
