In the journal article “Influence of long term use of a computer on median, ulnar and radial sensory nerves in wrist region”, a study was done between computer users and none computer users. The result showed that the nerves that are located in the wrist region (ulnar and median nerves) gets damaged even without and neurological dysfunctions, just because the wrist part is being extended while typing or using the mouse (Bamac, Belgin, et al., 1033.) on the website of U.S. library of medicine it is stated that ulnar nerve damage can cause complications like deformity of hand, partial or complete loss of hand/wrist movement or sensation in hand/fingers etc. This is just one of the few health problems that we are facing or about to face as a new big problems if we keep using computers limitless. Another way the computers hurts a student is by hurting their capability to focus on study while working through a computer. Teens tend to have very playful mind and it’s already hard for them to focus on boring thing like study. So when they are in front of the computer screen, how can you expect them to pay their 100 percent attention to study? Plus they have the Internet and growing social media uses and gaming just lights up the fire more. So, why we allow them to be in front of the computer for study? Is that become so impossible to make the kids study without the use of a computer? Some people say it’s easy and entertaining way to study for the kids and they learn better. Agreed.
But in these days people are spending time in talking on the phone, chatting with their friends, or playing video games. Technology consumes more time than we think; once we get in to it, it going to take at least an hour to get rid of it. Many researchers indicate that American children spend an average of eight hours a day with media, including television, computer, and video games (Source 1). Opponents will say that student can score higher percentile when using computer-based instruction than student who received no computer (Source 2). It is true that student will score higher if they use computer, but the time that they spend with computer still matter. I don’t mean that computer-based instruction is bad but the time they spend on it is the problem. Students should not be allow to use computer more than 2-3
This is an insane thought as the teacher ought to be conscious of a student’s attention span. It’s shocking! We see something inventive and fool around for hours and hours, in the end, our work an absolute disappointment. They believe we can achieve a full written essay for the next day in the aid of our computer. Indeed the internet is great help, however the greatest help of all, Wikipedia, is not approved to be copied, so we must refuse to accept the temptation of our surroundings and finish the work with every letter being our own. Imagine life without no homework that involves technology, which is ironic as the answers are all there; but it’s a beautiful vivid image of stress free students who don’t need to be upset or troubled. Technology is also becoming extremely unsafe if it is not used correctly. Technology has introduced social networking sites, which can take advantage of a Childs vocabulary. Children do not get an opportunity to talk face-to-face and this is dangerous to their social skills to not only children but everyone, as they do not have time to communicate, they can use text, email, facebook and other social networking sites, which can have them adapting to slang. Social networking sites are not just hazardous to ones vocabulary but also because some are cyber bullied and groomed over the internet. I despise how people truly get satisfaction from hurting someone psychologically,
Computers and technological devices have been heavily used in millions of elementary classrooms throughout the world. While many people believe this is a beneficial thing some think it is taking over the traditional ways of learning and damaging their social interaction. All the colors and sounds on the screen attract children and make them think that what they are learning is fun and enjoyable. Using computers in the classroom is very beneficial, but it should not be replacing traditional ways of education. As Elizabeth Bohnhorst, author of Floppy Disk Fallacies, stated “…computers are being used more and more frequently as a substitute for books, blackboards, and in some cases, the teachers themselves (251-252)”. Students will soon not have the need to bring pencils, paper, and even a backpack to class because everybody will be using computers as a means of learning. Moreover, computers should be used only as a tool to assist learners and make certain tasks accomplishable more efficiently while also keeping traditional ways of learning.
First, there’s the case where students aren’t able to afford a computer. This causes to affect their grades, school learning experience, and their mental health poorly. Most students have parents or guardians that constantly want them to get good grades and when that isn’t possible some students don’t take it very easily. Another thing is that it can hurt their grades because now in most schools their system relies greatly on computers. Teachers use computers for assigning homework, being able to research topics in class, and giving weekly assignments that are made to be done at home also. This can make a student become behind in
When i’m not using technology I can focus and concentrate on content. Being able to focus can make the class more engaging and improve grades. Nicholas Carr stated that “ When we use our cellphones and our computer all the time we are always distracted.” Without technology we can be focused on the content we are studying and get more accomplished.”
video games have also a negative effect on the health of children like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has long been related with computer use this caused when the main nerve between the forearm and hand is held or pressed. This occurs when the carpal tunnel the area of the wrist that contains the main nerve becomes irritated. Overuse of a computer mouse can cause such irritation, as can extreme use of a video game
01/12/16 Progress Report documented that the patient has persistent pain in the ulnar left arm and forearm, which radiates into the ulnar hand, ring, and small fingers. It was noted that the MRI performed on 02/15 was of the left WRIST. The left elbow, arm, and forearm have not been imaged. The nerve conductions study was consistent with persistent and worsening ulnar compression neuropathy, possibly secondary to compression at flexor fascia of proximal forearm and intermuscular septum of medial arm; following attempted
Author, Eliana Dockterman in her article,¨The Digital Parent Trap¨, exposes the potential benefits of technology use among young people. Dockterman´s purpose is to directly inform us about how studying and learning from computers and hand hale gadgets can actually improve our education mentally. Us the younger generation who are being physically exposed to this more and more should benefit from these opportunities that are being given to us,¨Dockterman¨ stated in her article that using technology is the next step for teens to learn since this is what keeps us a focused. With this being said I conclude that gadgets are the future of learning since we have advanced this 21st century.
If you could choose whether computers are distracting or non-distracting for school then what would you choose? I think that computers are both distracting and non-distracting because it could distract you but there are things you can do for it not to be distracting. Computers could be good like they can give you lots of knowledge from it.but some people say that when using a computer in an exam it could make the student perform worse exams. They also think kids are only using computers to play on them and use them for what they are not supposed to. For example they go on youtube and watch whatever they want whenever they want they also go on gaming sites and a lot more other things.
The purpose of this research paper is to solve the question: Do computers cause permanent eye damage? The selected hypothesis supported the idea that prolonged computer usage does not cause permanent eye damage. The evidence provided shows that external factors such as lighting are responsible for the vision impairment. In addition, prolonged computer usage only leads to a temporary eye inflammation known as dry eyes and it is uncommon for dry eyes to cause permanent vision loss. The report 's conclusion proves that the hypothesis is correct. The only effect from computer usage towards our vision is a temporary syndrome called CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome).
The final result of using digital devices during school hours is not a good one. Students can cheat more easily, which means that they are not preparing for the future and society.
The use of laptops and cellphones seem like a good use to the students, but are they really? With the use of technology in the classroom student’s grades are seeming to become lower and lower as the days go on. Multitasking while in the classroom has resulted in the lowering of grades of the students. Multitasking with the use of technology such as laptops, and cellphones is not recommended in the classroom- like environments, and affects the brains way of learning.
This research is a study about the bad side effects of using computer to human health. Since, computer is widely used by all level of community, so we should know the bad side effect of using computers to our health. In order to reduce the bad side effects of using computers, this research suggests the ways to maintain our health when using computer.
The 21st century is all technology, phones, computers, and televisions. They are everywhere and students need become technologically sound because this will help them adapt our every changing society. In the journal The Lecture: A Teaching Strategy through the Looking Glass writes “specifically if a student does not have a computer and does not have access to the internet they are at a disadvantage and in more recent time” (Perrin, Laing, 2014 p.67-77). If students do not have a computer they will not do as well as other students who do. Students will comprehend what they learn if they are engaged with the subject they are studying. Technology helps keep students engaged according to according to the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics who has done research on secondary
Furthermore, as communication and writing skills diminish our school performance begins to be affected. The entertainment of mobile devices distracts nearly every student in the classroom whether it is texting, or playing games, or surfing the net. Mobile devices also play a big role in communication by making it possible for students to easily communicate with each other when they should not be. The power to communicate with virtually anyone is a major distraction. Some teens are so attached to their technological devices they sleep with phones on and wake up to answer text messages they get at night. When kids have cell phones in their classrooms they are extremely distracted from what is actually being taught. They are looking down and playing their games or going on social networking sites instead of listening to their teachers. With the constant distraction of technology and teens short attention spans reading and writing skills have suffered significantly and vocabularies are shrinking. This relates to their education and their ability to do well in school. Another problem is that technology provides students with the ability to explore numerous search engines for any problem they come across and copy them word for word. It seems that students don’t spend time thinking; they are simply repeating information instead of learning concepts and ideas. When students do this, they do not actually learn the
