Schools should stop using books for teaching and instead use films, TV and computers. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#schools #books #films #tv #computers
Books
 should be replaced by
technologies
 like
computers
, TV, and films for teaching in schools. I disagree with
this
 belief, it has been years that we
use
books
 to teach our
students
 and I think these new
technologies
 can be used
besides
books
 not totally replacing them.
First
 and foremost,
books
 can be touched. When you are reading a book you are able to touch every word on paper and not only you can
use
 your eyes but
also
 you can
use
 your hands, despite
computers
 that you can only watch everything and try to memorize them. It is said that the more you
use
 your all senses during the study, the more you can memorize
information
.
Furthermore
, teachers can lose their data on a computer.
Books
 cannot be broken, or the info in them cannot be deleted,
books
 are like a loyal friend which save everything for centuries, while
computers
 should become updated from time to time and during these updates some of their hardware and software become old-fashioned and have to be uninstalled, because of that some of the
information
 on them will be lost. Some may argue that new
technologies
 can help
students
 to search better. While all the contents of
books
 can be found on the internet these days, there should be no force for using
books
 in schools.
However
, I think confronting
students
 with the ocean of
information
 on the internet will bring them nothing except confusion. In conclusion, I think
technologies
 can be a good source of
information
besides
books
 for
students
, but they cannot be totally replaced with them, as we can learn and memorize studies better from
books
 than
computers
.
