Technology

The meaning of technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, esp. in industry: "computer technology"; "recycling technologies". Machinery and equipment developed from such scientific knowledge. 

So, in this 20th century, most of the things are technology like cell phone, microwave and many more. I choose this topic because I heard in the news that students can bring mobile phone and Ipad to school starting from 2013.. ( YEAYYYY) Okay, in this occasion, I'm agree with it because it can bring advantages to the student but it will be more disadvantages than advantages :(.

 ADVANTAGES 
 1. If students can bring Ipad to school, they could use it as a textbook, so it will ease the burdens of students because students doesn't have to carry/bring heavy books to school.


 2.You can use mobile phone in the case of emergency. According to my experience, it really help you like this situation:
*You forgot something---> *you call you parents-->*they will send it to you-->* you won't get into any trouble.

3. It's easier and better, like with Ipad/smartphones you can use the interne tto do reseach like in Geography, because internet is more updated than a textbook that was published 5 years ago, well, you get my point.

4. We will be saving tons of papers as if Ipad would be a textbook, then we're not going to use paper as a textbook anymore.( GoGreen) #SaveOurEarth

 Well, that's the advantages( they probably some more, ) Then, below are disadvantages.....

DISADVANTAGES
1. The most obvious one it will be a distraction because based on my experience in UK, students often use their phone in lesson time, so by doing that, it will distract other student and the teacher.

2. Burglaries increased.
*Break time--> *everyone goes out to canteen-->* then the thief steals stuff.



 Haha, I said disadvantages was going to be more, but I can't think of others, so just accept that the fact that it does bring more disadvantages. But,we all have to accept it, in this modern era, technology is growing rapidly, but I hope I'm wrong, I wish this bringing Ipad/mobile phone thingy to school would bring a step better in education to produce students that are useful in the future.
