Gone are the days when kids spent their schooldays playing tag or engaging in other physical activities in the playground. Today, modern education has been drastically transformed by computers and technology, providing a new world of learning opportunities for students.
I was already in school when computers became a big thing. I remember my first computer class in high school. We had to take a typing test to get into the class. My teacher, Mrs. Simeonova, was so excited about us learning to type properly. She would always remind us how important it was to have good posture and keep our fingers on the right keys. I never really understood why she was so excited about us learning to type, but looking back, I think she saw the potential in what computers could do for education. She probably saw how they could help us learn more efficiently and effectively.
My school experience changed dramatically when we started using computers in the classroom. Suddenly, there were new possibilities for learning that we never had before. We could research topics online, participate in virtual discussions with other students, and even take online courses. The possibilities were endless!
I remember feeling like I had been let out of a cage when I started using computers in my schooling. I felt like I could finally learn at my own pace and discover new things that interested me. It was an amazing feeling, and one that I will never forget.
Overall, computers have changed my school experience in a very positive way. They have made learning more convenient and efficient, and opened up new avenues for exploration that weren't available before.
With the advances of technology, computers have become a normal part of everyday life in school. Students can use them for research and assignments, class discussions, virtual field trips and more. Trips to the library are replaced with quick Google searches and collaboratively projects are done with ease via the digital platforms available. As a major source of information, computers have revolutionized the way students learn by opening up new realms of knowledge that were previously unavailable.
But while there are many positive effects, such as increased access to information and enhanced engagement with course material, there are also some potential negative effects that should be considered. For example, too much screen time can lead to problems with focus and attention, and students who rely too heavily on technology may struggle when it comes to writing by hand or completing tasks that require critical thinking. And, the use of computers in classrooms can create a digital divide between those who have access to technology at home and those who do not. As we continue to integrate computers into the education system, it is important to be aware of both the potential benefits and drawbacks so that we can maximize the positive impact for all students.
As I look back at the changes computers brought to education, it’s interesting to think that I was alive when they first appeared in classrooms. It's fascinating how far technology has come and what a profound impact it had on educational opportunities around the world through the years. Computers revolutionized not only learning but also our lifestyle.
Let our children not grow up in a terrible world. Together we can make it better. It is our destiny to
suffer from the past, to long for the future, but to forget the present.

Oh yes, it's up to us to make technology better, sometimes I feel like the next generation will never get to experience the joy of nature and natural things because technology would have replaced each of these things by then.
