Should computer skills be considered as a part of the most important subjects besides reading, writing, maths?

There has been a controversy about whether computer skills should be considered a part of the most important subjects

besides

reading, writing and maths. I think it's necessary, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.

First

, to align with globalization. As we know, we live in an era of globalization,

computers

are closely linked with our daily life, and almost all sorts of jobs require

computers

. Take me as an example. My

first

IT class was in the elementary class; the teacher taught us how to

use

some basic

software

,

such

as Words, Powerpoint and Exel. Based on those lessons, I know how to

use

the core functions of that

software

. Thanks to those experiences, I found a job which is IT-related.

On the contrary

, had I not had those IT classes, I would have spent extreme time learning how to

use

that

software

, and it would hinder me from getting a good job.

Second

, the traditional way of teaching is challenged by the new way of teaching. It's expected that due to technological development,

computers

play an essential role in our studies. In the past, teachers only needed a blackboard, and some books to impart knowledge to

students

.

Nevertheless

, teachers have to learn how to present their classes with computer

software

now.

Computers

have evolved into a study tool; users are required to learn how to

use

computers

to collect information and pick the vital ones. Take today as an example. On account of Corona,

students

are asked to attend online classes. In

this

case,

computers

play a crucial role in connecting teachers and

students

; were

students

unable to

use

computers

,

then

it would be difficult for them. In conclusion, I believe the position of

computers

in our life will become more and more essential;

therefore

, it's better to let children learn how to

use

them earlier.
