Question

Computer impact in education?

Answer 1

Computers and computer technology have totally changed the face of the world as we start the twenty-first century. It would be hard to find one corner of our society that has not been changed dramatically by them. Why is this? Used properly, computers and computer technologies are more efficient, they save us time, and they allow us to do things that we never could have imagined.

As the technology for computers changes, so do the people who use computers and the contexts in which they use them. No longer are building-size computers used to crunch numbers for an elite coterie of scientists and mathematicians. Now, more than ever, computers are mobile, and information is accessible to many people. Adults and students in a wide range of disciplines and with vastly different levels of expertise use computers for thousands of professional, educational, and recreational applications.

Computers are the world and the future. If children can become as comfortable with them as with TVs, innovation will continue to increase, and opportunities and education will increase along with it. Computers are the new medium for education, just like books were 600 years ago.
