The future of education – books or computers.
Time is changing; the world the world around us is changing. People invent new sources of information, which are modern, compact and convenient. We used to go to libraries; nowadays all of us have laptops and PCs. But what about education, can computer substitute book or not?
To my mind, computer is soulless; it does not provide any kind of feelings, while book has a tempting smell and pretty shape. Firstly, there are some rare exemplars of books that can only be found in university libraries. They are hundred years old and none of the copies available on the Internet. Secondly, book is much more comfortable for eyes. Eyes get tired less and student can read more pages in a row.
However, the biggest part of students prefers computers. They say that it is portable. Students can have gigabytes of literature in their backpacks and it will weight only three kilos. It seems more rational to them to use laptops. That is why all up-to-date universities have virtual libraries.
I disagree with this point of view because books have already brought up billions of people and computers have not. Enormous number of extra computer facilities disturbs students from the studying process.
To sum up, try not to ignore books and they will tell you the truth. Computer is a new technology and no one can be sure that it is harmless. In one thing I am sure: book cannot discharge.
