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.
It is certain these days that the computer is increasingly becoming an integral part of the pedagogy.
This
essay will illustrate how it has broken geographical boundaries as the primary benefit and on the other side, the lack of human contact increasing simultaneously is seen as a negative impact. This
essay will deliberate on both sides of the argument.
The introduction of this
exceptional development to education has transformed learning. The pivotal benefit it brings to pupils is a seamless geography across the physical world
and makes curriculums available to anyone from anywhere and most characteristically anytime. It is therefore
agreed that technology is without the slightest ounce of doubt impacting the schooling world
positively like never before. To state an example, last
year I enrolled myself in a doctoral program at a Swiss university and I’m pursuing it from the comfort of my abode. On completion, it will add a prestigious feather to my academic hat, which otherwise
wouldn’t have been possible without computers.
However
, many disagree with the positive side of the argument that, the ever-increasing intervention of computers in schools/universities is resulting in reducing personal contact. And this
is why, children are said to be deprived of the basic human dispositions like soft skills and compassion. This
essay disagrees with the notion that technology completely obliterates the opportunity of people coming into basic interactions in person. We must note here that applications like Facebook have rather shrunk the world
, and brought people closer from across nations in a way that, would never have been possible in a physical sphere.
In conclusion, technology has this
undeniable merit of connecting the world
in a way that it has never been seen before, but at the same time, its consumption also
has its perils on human relations and one must be judicious and prudent on
the time spent with it and on it. Suggestion

, in my opinion, the pros of online education far outweigh the cons associated with it on any measure.Submitted by Vinesh on
