Computers are now the basis of the modern world. They should therefore be introduced into classrooms, and their programs used for direct teaching purposes. However, dependence on computers in teaching may carry a certain degree of risk to students. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

In today's modern era, a
computer
is a very fundamental tool. Some people think that pupils should get used to operating it at
school
.
On the contrary
, there may be various risks if pupils depend on
computers
.
This
essay will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the idea above.
To begin
with,
students
usually do their homework in a book during
school
life, while in the workplace, people do their job on a
computer
such
as analyzing data, creating reports, and presentations.
For instance
, I work at a tech company where there are many data provided every day. I have to be able to understand the formula on Microsoft excel to make my job easier.
Otherwise
, it will take days to analyze the data that I have.
Therefore
,
students
should learn how to operate
computers
and their applications so that they will not find difficulties at work in the future. Other than that, I think by learning with
computers
,
students
can access the internet and get information as much as possible.
On the other hand
, there are cons if depending on
computers
for teaching.
Firstly
,
students
can access the internet free from their
computers
.
Students
who are supposed to study from the internet,
instead
use the opportunity to open a forbidden site
such
as online-game or porn.
This
will lead to unproductive time and addiction for them as well.
Secondly
,
computers
are not cheap.
For instance
in my country, there are many unfortunate kids that can go to
school
, let alone purchase a
computer
. I believe if
school
should be modernized,
then
the government should take part to give a subsidy so that the unfortunate kids can have a
computer
. In conclusion,
although
studying with
computers
will bring benefits, I think the disadvantage weighs more than the advantages. I agree with the latter idea.
