Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.
There is an ever-increasing use of
technology
in schools and universities. It is often opinionated that this
is a good development, whilst others believe it will bring drawbacks. This
essay agrees that an increase in technology
is beneficial to students and teachers.
It is clear that the internet has provided students with access to more information than ever before. This
has given learners the ability to research and learn about any subject at the touch of a button. It is therefore
agreed that technology
is a very worthwhile tool for education. For example
, Wikipedia is a primary tool nowadays to gain access to in-depth knowledge by simply typing in any keywords quickly and easily.
However
, many disagree and feel that technology
deprives people
of real human interaction
. Human interaction
teaches people
valuable skills such
as discourse and empathy. Without these soft skills, many people
find it difficult to become successful in work and their personal lives. Despite this
, human interaction
is still possible through the internet and this
essay disagrees technology
should be dismissed for this
reason. For instance
, Skype and Facebook make it possible for people
to interact online in ways that were never before possible.
In conclusion, while technology
benefits people
by providing a limitless amount of information, some still feel that people
should be wary of its lack of face-to-face interaction
. However
, as long as we are careful to keep in mind the importance of human interaction
in education, the educational benefits are clearly positive.Submitted by hpanduhimawan on
