Although innovations such as video, computers, and the Internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning.

With the regard of the statement, improved methods like video, computers and the Internet serve as tools of instructing student but appear more likely to distract people from real learning. I agree with the statement insofar that the people nowadays is truly more vulnerable to distractions other than learning itself. Yet, is there any possibility that it's the content and the teaching strategy of those high-tech instructor to blame rather than technology itself? Or is it even possible that here who we are dealing with is no longer people centuries ago who wouldn't have a slight sense of the advent of video, computers, and the Internet but instead people drowned in the sea of information and mostly important, merely read for a lovely long time?
In learning some specific subjects, high-tech methods mentioned above, instead of luring people to something else, they happen to be a more effective way of instructing students. With the respect of subjects like biology and herbology, video, computers and other multimedia methods provide a more vivid way of observing visual body than any other narrative books. Video makes it possible to not only see those animals and herbs but also give visual examples of the whole progress of how animals hunt or how those roses gradually blossom to its best. Computers sometimes make it even further to put them into three dimensional figures which enable people to observe every part of these fine architecture of the Creator. Innovative technologies present tremendous amount of details that can easily beat every book with paragraphs after paragraphs describing a simple feature of a particular flower's leaf, for instance, or even book illustrated.
However, as we deepen our sight of the modern human behavior, we can find a despair fact that people nowadays not only easy to be distracted from learning but from doing anything. The rather high pace of the modern society allows less and less leisure time. Times are gone when people gathered in salons drinking and exchanging the latest update of acquaintance or news of the cosmetic and international affairs. People now click the mouse and before the echo of that sound bounces back, they have already found what they want, and after a few blinks, they already hasten to declare that they have already finished what supposed to be a long article. Given social networking services like twitter and traditional text message occupying our spare time, we are no longer determined enough to give patience a try and read some information that cannot be summarized as a few sentences. Circumstance is that people no longer even read, how can we expect them to focus.
Video, computers and the Internet are tools, so are the books and radio and any other tools that have helped human beings to enlighten this species itself. Tools can be used in good and bad ways, partly it's question inseparable from how it makes its content stand out. After that, they serves their duty well and it's the user to get the most of it. Technology take responsible for the distraction it shed on people although it is only giving a freedom of option or an exit, but we should be clear that technology also take credit for how it makes learning experience more convenient and inspiring than any before. |
