education

. The upcoming paragraphs will discuss the advantages and disadvantages with examples of the same. With the changing world, the

education

system seems to be adapting to the change. The introduction of tablets and laptop computers will provide children with the added advantage to do research.

For example

, students learning about the solar system will get a better understanding of how the planets look like using modern technology. On the one hand, it gives children the opportunity to become independent,

whereas

,

on the other hand

, the chances of wrong

use

of independence increase. So, it can act as a boon if introduced within a controlled period,

otherwise

, it will be a big disadvantage. The

use

of technology will make them comfortable with the ways and help them in future as the world is going digital.

use

of books is as important as these new additions as they are an adjunct to the current

education

system.
