Technology
 is widely spreading in many fields and education is no exception. There are a lot of experiments done in the field of teaching and introducing
technology
 is one
such
 thing. While the evolution of
tablets
 and
laptops
 is happening in school currently and it helps
students
 in many ways, it cannot replace books and other forms of printed materials. On one hand, schools giving
laptops
 and
tablets
 can increase the student's knowledge in the subjects.
Students
 get an opportunity to learn about the subject in detail using
laptops
 and
tablets
. A lot of information is available across the internet and
students
 can easily access them and use it for learning and researching.
Thus
 giving
students
 electronic gadgets can help them in their
studies
.
On the other hand
, letting
students
 use electronic gadgets inside the classroom can easily distract them from their
studies
. Social media and games can easily attract school
students
 making them turn away from their
studies
.
Students
 can get easily distracted when a game pops up or a movie ad comes up when they are studying. A study shows that studying in books traditionally can create a sense of study among
students
 rather than using
laptops
 or
tablets
. In conclusion, while bringing
technology
 into schools can help
students
 learn new concepts and research them, it can
also
 result in them getting away from
studies
 and leading them to waste a lot of time.
Thus
 it is better to use
technology
 as an addition to books and exams rather than making them the
first
 choice of education.
