Virtual Reality?

Nowadays we can see that technology is used almost everywhere on earth.

Always more technology is added into the classrooms, black boards have been replaced by smart boards, open windows by air conditions, printed books by E-Books and our brains my calculators.

Technology made our lives a lot easier today; we can get work done much faster and have more time for other assignments.

However, it has to be mentioned that technology effects the interpersonal communication drastically between teacher and student. Furthermore the social behavior of students changes as they are not participating in class and having discussions.

The technology made it possible that education is not a privilege any longer, without discrimination; there is any kind of information found on the Internet.

By decreasing the prices of technology, most countries are capable of possessing a computer or note-book.

There are still some house holds which do not give such open access to teenagers, this is good for the student but on the other hand it makes life more difficult for them since nowadays teachers require students to do their research online and bring typed work back to university or school.

The pressure, of possessing a lap-top increases every year, a person that does not own his own computer is either designated as poor or not fully educated and does not have the need of having one.

As a matter of fact, is it really better for students to be computer literate than being active in real life? And we should ask ourselves, how come teenagers communicate with people on the other side of the world but ignore their social environment?

Technology should be used in educational life, no doubts about that but it should be in limits so that students are able to focus on their studies and be social at the same time. It is greatly surprising that students in the US high schools even request for more technology, as in the article mention before on this blog, having Wi-Fi on a school bus is unusual and students are more likely to be in danger of Internet Addiction. Students should find the middle course in using technology and being social in life.
