Technology and studies

Nowadays, since the creation of internet, it has become a way to find information easily. Students can use calculators in order to solve equations and math problems without wasting time and without a certain mistake. But, with this help, students don’t use this information toll appropriately, like stealing information and copying from another partner in a middle of a test. This could be bad, but technology is a good tool to learn quick and in this article I’ll show why.

For decades, calculator has helped students and economist solve equations more precise and in a short time, so people can learn the basics of calculus and physics more accurate, without worrying about how perfect the answer is. Before, solving algebra and calculus problems was very boring and imprecise for the people, and it took days and weeks to figure out a problem. Nowadays we can see electronic calculators that are commonly used in schools and universities, at banks and offices, figuring out problems in a simple way. In addition there are high-tech calculators that are special for electronic and electrical engineers, use for long challenging equations that a simple calculator can’t do.

Since 1995, the year that Bill Gates, founder and president of Microsoft, created the biggest network, called Internet, people can set up communication between other people in the same or in another country exchanging different kinds of information. In the study field it has become a powerful tool, because students can browse on the internet information about their homeworks, without the need of going to the library wasting time and money. Also you can fin the audiobook, which means a novel read by someone and recorded you can buy or download it for free. You can transfer it from you pc, to a mp3 player and know about what the book is in a shorter time than reading if you don’t have good reading abilities.

But some colleges and schools are against the idea of using technology. Students use the internet to find done homework or essays, from an untrustable source in the web, making them to copy and paste information from the source, without reading and learning about the topic and knowing anything about it. Also, cheating has become easier than before for students with the technology income. Students in the middle of a test take pictures of the solved test using cell phones and transfer to a partner’s one through Bluetooth in order to copy and paste from the cell phone math and physics problems, for example.

Summarizing, technology is a powerful tool depending on how you will use it. But the advantages of using it for good are extremely high, rather than using it for bad intentions, because nowadays, teachers and college professors are well informed about cheating in tests and works. So technology help students learn quickly.
