Some people think that technology is a very good study tool for young people. Others, however, believe that it is harmful for the studying process. Discuss both views and give your opinions.
As
technology
becomes ubiquitous, it has been integrated as a study tool into
the school environment. Some argue that Change preposition
in
this
phenomenon negatively impacts the studying process of young generations, while others believe the opposite view where technology
brings significant benefits to the students
. I will discuss both views and explain why I agree with the latter.
To begin
with, there are some potential pitfalls associated with using technology
at school. One of these is reducing the memory ability of children. For example
, As all the learning materials
are available on electronic devices
, students
do not need to write down the lesson materials
on paper anymore, whereas the writing process will help with the cognitive and memorisation ability. As a result
, students
will be dependent on technology
to memorise things in their after-school life. Another disadvantage is students
may get distracted from the lessons. They may surf the Internet or play games while studying, which, in the long run, limits their attention span and concentration ability.
Despite the mentioned drawbacks, I believe technology
will bring many definite merits to young people with their learning process. Firstly
, they can access all kinds of valuable and informative materials
that were difficult to find and learn in the past, when tech devices
had not been invented yet. In addition
, students
can learn online through online courses that are, in some cases, superior to face-to-face classes because of their convenience, affordability and short-term length. A final point is that educational materials
can be archived in an organised way, with all notes being stored on the devices
within separate folders, saving time to search for them if needed in future, for instance
. Clearly, technology
makes it easier to perceive knowledge for the young generation.
In conclusion, with the aforementioned, although
electronic devices
may harm children in terms of their studying, the benefits are more significant and valuable. Hence
, I strongly encourage the integration of technology
in the learning domain.Submitted by jakedth162 on
