In our modern world, technology has penetrated our daily life, and in particular children’s life, by offering a wide range of devices. While according to some the easy use of technological devices should be restricted among students, others, myself included, are convinced that the educators should have unrestricted access to modern technology due to its favorable impacts. In this essay, I will state both these views.
On the one hand, those who are in favor of restricting technological advices hold the view that children are becoming socially isolated which is rooted in the widespread use of technology. This has meant that the educators would not present physically at the society and they prefer to stay home while they are allocating their time to smartphones and laptops. Children therefore will not be able to communicate effectively with their peers. For instance, gamers become addicted to their computers and they prefer to stay home rather than spending time with their friends. The opponents of technological devices also believe that the increasing use of technology can result in laziness and obesity among students.
On the other hand, the proponents of technological devices adhere that technology facilitates students with not only online learning but also practical applications to handle real-life situations. It enables students to look for a wealth of information through various websites, in particular YouTube and Google. For instance, more than half of the students across the globe has access to the internet and at least one up-to-date device to find their subject-related information.
All things considered, although many people believe that the feeling of isolation and obesity should not be neglected as the results of advances in technology, I believe that technological devices are tremendously advantageous due to providing virtual learning.
