Life with computers.

Life with computers.

by Nadezhda Felukova

Our school has been using laptops and computers for the past years. I want to say a few words about computers, their advantages and disadvantages in our life.

Some people say that the invention of computers is one of the greatest humankind’s inventions. However, other people think that computers make their life more stressful. I agree with those people who think that computers brought many benefits and play a very important role in our modern life. We also use them in our studies at school and at home.

First of all, nowadays every school uses computers to store its data and make different kinds of operations. It is very difficult to imagine a life of a modern school without computers. Every school would have to use the Internet to send and receive information with home tasks for schoolchildren and teachers, communication with other schools and institutions. Another important aspect of this situation is that students are able to type all their information, make corrections, print or send documents using computers at school and at home. Laptops are portable computers. You can take them wherever you go. They make life much easier. One can spend the rest of the time left from studies watching films or playing computer games, reading or working on something new.

Second of all, computers provide a great means of communication – the Internet. It is the easiest and cheapest way to get in touch with friends, relatives, teachers, ect.

On the other hand, at school computers may have some disadvantages. They can distract pupils from studies. They can be tempted by playing games, social network life or chatting instead of school subjects. Though a knife can also be used as a tool or as a weapon like a computer may be an instrument or a toy.

To sum up, I believe that it is very important to use computers and laptops in schools. They help to teach pupils.
