Computers today can quickly and accurately translate languages; therefore, it is a waste of time to learn a foreign language. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Learning of non-native
language
 is not necessary because we have electronic translators that can do it fast and correctly.
This
 is how advanced we have come with respect to using technology to enhance our daily lives.
However
, I completely disagree that the acquisition of a foreign dialect is an exercise in futility, and in
this
 essay, I will be discussing my views below.
Firstly
, electronic device translators still need the
internet
 to work. Computers with
language
 translators need to connect to a back end server via the
internet
,

 before it can function, as

 the interpretation cannot be completed without access to the
internet
.
For instance
, if you are in a rural area where there is limited
internet
 connectivity,
then
 it means communication cannot happen. In
this
 scenario, the essential of knowing a
second
language
 is still valid.
Secondly
, the laptops could get broken and the translation function won't work. These devices are electronic devices that are prone to damage, it
Add the comma(s)
, therefore,

therefore
 means that without the knowledge of a
second
language
, one communication is hindered.
For example
, I have witnessed a situation whereby a foreigner wants to communicate, but his device will not power up, because of
this
 he couldn't find his way around in the city.
This
 wouldn't have been the case if he was aided with another
language
.
Finally
, acquisition of another dialect is a waste of time since there are other means of translating better and quicker,
such
 as with computers.
This
 essay completely disagrees with the statement, because these devices need the
internet
 to perform their functions and they can
also
 get damaged. As
such
 it is necessary to know another
language
 than only relying on gadgets for translation.
