Technology
 is seen by some
people
 as the key to success for young
students
. Others,
however
, argue that it has a negative impact, but I think
technology
 is a positive force for the young as they study. Some are of the opinion that the role played by
technology
 in the studying
process
 for the young is very important
,

 because compared to the past, studying is now much more efficient and convenient.
For example
, recent advances in areas
such
 as mobile
technology
 mean that information can now be accessed at any time and anywhere,
thus
 reducing the effort
students
 need to devote to researching for essays and studies, in general. Others,
however
, believe that the negative effect
technology
 can have on young
people
's studies is not insignificant. They argue that far from improving the way young
people
 deal with knowledge as they study,
technology
 is, in effect, harming the thinking
process
. Their argument is that
students
' thinking is being done by laptops and tablets.
As a result
, they are unable to analyse and use the information they encounter, which can damage their education. Personally, I feel that
technology
 is useful for young
students
 nowadays.
As well as
 improving the studying
process
,
technology
 allows young
people
 to manipulate the vast amounts of knowledge they encounter via the internet and in libraries. Without
technology
, in fact, preparing for exams and studying would both be impractical, because they would not be able to look at,
process
 and examine the vast amounts of information at their fingertips. As we have seen,
while
 the effect of
technology
 on young
people
’s studies is seen as both positive and negative, on balance I think it is a valuable tool.
