Nowadays we hardly can imagine our lives without computers. We use them every day instead of books, diaries and copybooks. Also almost all of the modern schools are provided with computerss so there is a point that students study worse without them. However, some people have an opposite opinion.
I would like to express my own point of view on this argument. I strongly believe that pupils can study effectively without using devices. Firstly, school libraries are full of necessary information so computers are not needed for it. Secondly, students who do not use computers have better writing skills. Finally, these children can become addicted to computers and it would not broaden their horizons.
In contrast, some people suppose that effectiveness of students studying depends on computers. First of all, pupils learn doing programs and this work is known to improve their calculating skills. Also modern world consists of computers so those pupils who study with devices are prepared for the future life.
I cannot fully agree with this opinion. I am convinced that nowadays not the whole world is full of technologies. Students should pay more attention to learning with books and writing on paper because this way of studying is used by millions of people and they study not worse than others.
All things considered, it is not a bad idea to study with computers, but pupils can study effectively without them, too.
