Computer vs Books

The use of technology can be a distraction to everyone and every age! But technology can take you places and open doors to information that textbooks can’t. “School officials believe the electronic materials will get students more engaged in learning”(Source A). speaking and writing from perspective, reading and learning from books can be really boring at times. With the use of computers, iBooks, chromebooks and the Internet, learning

Mann, who is professor of Western University, wrote an article Let’s Unplug the Digital Classroom, said that a variety of technology machinery should be avoided from in our classroom because those digital technologies disturb the our traditional learning skills (Mann, 2012). He described new environment of education in present day that more and more people, who are both professors and students, do communicate through the modern technologies rather than before. However, he taught that we must stop of utilizing the digital machine in school due to the decreasing of the people abilities. In reality, most student and even teachers use it too much time and cases for personal communication and processed with class. In addition, there are the most

Marc Presnky argues that college should ban the use of physical books to encourage the use of electronic books. He gives three reasons to support his argument. The author of the article “College Should Mandate That All Textbooks Be Digitized” states three main advantages of having a bookless higher education. He believes that society should move beyond “physical books of the past” in order to move “education into the future” (Presnky). By employing the use of digitized books, Presnky believes that people will have features not quickly available to physical books such as comments or analysis about a book. Lastly, Presnky believes the biggest advantage of fully transitioning to e-books is the liberation of ideas from printed pages. He thinks

We are living in a country that is called a technologically civilized society. The use of the Internet has not changed the way that we think but it is making unique contributions in classrooms by providing us with immediate and convenient access to an extraordinary amount of ideas and information. “In the world that we currently live in, technology is a very vital factor”. Today most people are more familiar with the gadget they carry in their backpack or even in their pocket; which is technically advanced. Every other day a new software device is being brought into the marketplace that helps to improve our knowledge in and out of school. in one way, the internet provides a much easier opportunity in education for student everywhere with access to all kinds of books available at any time. However, it is important to note that despite the fact that technology plays a big role in making our school lives much easier, it is not the only role it has. The internet seems to be impairing our ability to focus and to think deeply on any subject. The more technology continues to grow, the more improvement it provides in education level for certain students while for others it has a very different effect in the way we read and take in information. Furthermore, I will be discussing both pros and cons of the way technology is used in and out of our schools today.

Teachers are always assigning homework in the textbook and of course every student complains. Not only because they have homework, but because they have to lug home multiple textbooks. Many school districts have been trying to find a way to solve this complaint. What school board officials have come up with is replacing the textbooks with notebook computers or tablets. It is the 21st century, there is technology booming everywhere. However, converting the notebook computers might not be the greatest decision.

Computer has revolutionized learning, in the past students spends a lot of time combing through manual catalogue of books looking for their preferred choice. However, these books are available at the click of a button once a search has been initiated. One can therefore assert that the computer has increased the mental capacity of students, as they are able to access a lot of information within a very short time. Therefore, comparatively students who access computers are knowledgeable than their counterparts who do not have access to computers. Word processing applications have enabled neat and well presentation of academic works, thus generally improving on the academic status of students. The computer has provided a platform enabling easier accessibility of a wealth of information; as a result, physical movements to the libraries have been reduced. Online dictionaries and databases of organizations and institutions provide options to students, staffs and the public to easily access information.

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” Questions proliferate in everyday thought. These questions, no matter the context, can be considered the first step of research. Asking questions, developing a method, and discovering answers are the basis of research. Research has been defined repeatedly throughout history; nevertheless to this day different disciplines define it in a variety of ways. Oftentimes research is assumed synonymous with science, such as the definition provided by the American

According to Alan Bennett, “A book is a device to ignite the imagination.” It was approximately eight years ago in high school term, based on my experiences in school, I realized what sparked my imagination was a computer rather than a book but keep in mind that reading more books makes you a computer specialist. At first People were barely talking about computers. Secondly, within a couple of months, the computer device got popular and expanded all over the society. Finally, it wasn’t too long that people started purchasing a computer unit for their home. My uncle purchased a computer for his son at that time; I was so impatient to go observe, perceive, and engage what is a computer and how do people operate with it.

Education would not exist without the current evolution of technology. Education is important to every human being, whether taught by paper or by ever-growing technology. The students, because of the easiness that comes from experience with the

Many people think books are just words printed on a page that is only used when needed, however, that is not always correct. Books are a way for the reader to see into the mind of the author and experience their thoughts and emotions. In today’s technological era, books are evolving to become available electronically, rather than the printed books society is familiar with. People speculate whether or not these electronic books, or e-books, are more beneficial than paper books. To determine which is better, they may take into consideration the availability, convenience, and connection to the paper books and e-books. Paper and electronic books have advantages and disadvantages, but they both are similar in that they allow the reader to experience a new world that was previously only experienced by the author.

Have you ever imagine yourself, not using any kind of technology for the whole day ? Everywhere you go, you see people all around you using their technology for many reasons. Sam, a young student who grow up in a world with development of technology , used his technology 24/7 a day. On the other hand, his parents grow up without using that much technology for their daily life and also not in their classrooms. His parents had a hard time understanding if technology was a successful object in his future lifestyle and his education. Problems like this, are being faced by thousands of families everyday in this nation. Does the technology affect students with their learning ? How does technology help humans in their daily lifestyle ? In Order to answer those questions, we have to investigate the situation and find out what the solutions are to solving the problem. I tend to persuade the

The controversy between print and electronic books has been going on since electronic print became easily accessible. People struggle everyday between this decision, some think in a way they are betraying themselves by choosing electronic because they have used print for so long. Everyone is allowed to have their opinion on which they prefer and should not be judged for choosing one over another. The older generations didn 't even have the option of choosing an electronic version of a book, so it can seem foreign to them at times. Why would they ever pick something that is so new and only accessible on an electronic device? What if the electronic device suddenly stopped working and you were out of a book? There are both positives and negatives to both sides of this controversy that will determine which side people will pick when deciding what they are going to read.

The point was that modern era’s teleworkers can work at home using internet and fax to stay in contact with the main office where they work. That was new information for me and I wanted to learn it more in depth. The interesting part for me was not a telework but in general, how the new technologies affected our life in different fields like education, medicine, banking there is an endless list of it. When I was studying in the school I read an article about future innovations and development where it tells about the development of technology and innovations and what products or things will be useless and may be out of work in the future. One of those potential useless products in future was printed books, it stated in text that in the future all books will be electronic and people will start learning from computers and no need will be left for the printed version of books. Later, I started to think about my education that I get in my university is mostly includes electronic sources, presentations, and books. And what instantly crossed my mind that time was what sources are better for the students and what sourced can be retained better than the other and will the printed books disappear as it was predicted. Now, being interested in this issue I did a research about learning through online media and printed sources, to find out the answer for the interesting me

During the development of technology, most people have shifted to use electronic books to read both academic and non-academic texts. However, despite the technological changes, there has been a wide debate about the benefits of paper books over the e-books. It is important to understand that various reasons are suggesting why people should shift back to using the traditional books rather than the electronic ones. Even though some think that e-books are better that traditional ones, I believe that readers should return to traditional books because of various reasons.

It is hoped that the problems of e-books can be surmounted with the development of technology. More people can share the benefits of Electronic
