 we live in the world of ubiquitous technology.
This
 is why more and more schools are deciding for replacing books and notebooks with
laptops
 and other modern appliances.
This
 essay will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of
this
 solution.
First
 of all, handwriting improves little children’s development. Writing in the notebook gives them the opportunity to learn what letters look like, and how to hold the pen. It
also
 exercises their hand and their motor skills. If we replace it with writing on
laptops
, they will likely have problems with their handwriting style or they will even be unable to write on paper in the future.What is more, providing tablets and
laptops
 can have a negative influence on kids’ health. Nowadays, teenagers have spent more hours online than ever before. If they will be using computers for learning too, it would have an impact on their sight and they will likely have to have glasses in the future.
On the other hand
, writing on the computer is faster.
Laptops
 will help them to note more information during the class and
thus
 learn more.
Moreover
, a resignation from printed materials will be eco-friendly . If the tests are on computers, there is no need to waste an enormous amount of paper which will be thrown away after the exam ends. All data will be collected in the cloud so quick access to all information about tests and assignments will be possible without a lot of time. To conclude, there are plenty of pros and cons to
this
 trend.
