Computers and education

Nowadays, technology is used in every aspect in(ww. of) our lives, in education, work and at home. Technology improved our lives a lot, made them easier and more comfortable. Computers are very helpful in the education institutes, like high schools and universities. Computers are used by students during classes and with their schoolwork at home. As a result of the technology's progression, people wonder whether computers will replace teachers in the future.

.

In my opinion, although the computers have been very useful and helpful in the education institutes, I believe that computers should not replace teachers. First of all, teachers do not only teach the material used to test(phr.). They also educate students to be better people by giving them (a) personal example and advice. Computers cannot give the students (a) personal example because of the fact that they are robots. Moreover, every teacher has his own teaching technique to keep the students focused. All computers and robots act the same and they cannot behave differently.

.

Furthermore, the percentage of unemployment in Israel is very high. If computers replace teachers the percentage of unemployment will increase. People will lose there jobs and the technology will eventually replace the place of intelligent people in our society. There will be no chance for people to study at universities in order to become teachers, because this job would be no longer available for human beans(sp.).

.

To conclude, in my opinion, the technology is very good and helpful, but it cannot take control of the education system. I think that teachers should be people with emotions and feelings, so they could achieve their goal of educate(gr.) the young generation.

Very good work!
