the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology
With the development of science and technology, peoples lives have been greatly changed. There is no doubt that we benefit a lot from the scientific advancements in many different ways. For instance, the invention of computers dramatically increases work efficiency and helps complete many difficult tasks that were impossible in the past. Apart from this, new discoveries and technology in medicine improve peoples health, which allows them to enjoy a longer life. The progress of science also enlarges humans ablilities to explore the world around them, from up into space to deep under the sea. Thanks to the development of science and technology, human society has enjoyed continuous prosperity and more convenience.??
However, just like a double-edged sword, science can cause problems too. It is known to all that the nuclear power, an environmentally friendly source of energy, can also be developed into a weapon of mass destruction. In addition, human cloning, which is expected to cure many serious diseases and save lives, may bring disasters of social morality. As a matter of fact, most of the improvements in science are made at the cost of our precious natural resources and have done great harm to the environment where we live in. ??
Therefore, how to deal with the progress of science and technology properly is worth our careful consideration.
Nowadays,more and more hi-tech tools,such as calculator,computer,etc,appear in our daily life.we use them wherever and whenever we are,so that our life becomes easier and more comfortable than before.
However,does anyone think about what problems science and technology have caused to happen in this world?To some degree,its more serious than that we consider.We human indeed use them to improve our living standard,but on the other hand,we are becoming lazier,more reliable than we used to be.All day long those hi-tech products accompany us,then we have either no space or time to think,as well,communication between each other decreases,and what takes place of it is the huge indifference and gap among human. To solve these problems,we should in no time take measures to do with them.Firstly,communicate with others and think on your own more.Secondly,decrease the times you use hi-tech tools.For the advantages of technology,we should absorb,at the meantime,be independent and abandon the short-comings.Thus,we could combine technology and human progress much closer and not lose ourselves in this modern society.

Essay Title:
The use of technology in education has increased in recent years. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in education, with regard to both teachers and students. Give examples from your own experience of studying to support your argument.
Technology in classroom is not new. Indeed, technology has been around in education for decades-one and might be argued for centuries, if we classify the blackboard as a form of technology. Tape recorders, language laboratories Tape recorders, language laboratories and video have been in use since the 1960s and 1970s, and are still used in classrooms around the world. Computer-based materials for language teaching, often referred to as Call (computer Assisted Language Learning), appeared in the early 1980. ”(Dudeney, 2007, p8)
Technology is a tool in the classroom which tries to constantly improve the quality of teaching and the efficiency to allow people to become easier and more convenient in learning through science and technology tools. Technology products have been gradually integrated into our life, and even have become an integral part of our lives. There are many technology products used in education. It has become a hotly-debated issue, whether the educator should greatly accept the development of technology. Advocates of using technology in education argue that the science and technology can effectively improve studying, such as network education system, computer and multimedia tools. They are the leading cause of improving education diversity. However, other people believe that school should follow the traditional education. There are many uncertainties in technology products. Students may be faced with many temptations and adverse influences from technology products. Technology in the classroom needs to spend a lot of money. They claimed that it is wasteful, unwise and unacceptable. This essay intends to explain the pros and cons with use the technology in education.
First of all, the computer is the most representative of technology products usedin education. It can offer a range of services and convenience for students to study, suchas e-learning, reading online and researchinginformation. With the help of these resources, the students learning will be improved greatly. Clark (2008, P 37) claimsthat “reading online content is similar to reading printed material, but online material is designed
very differently from a book.” Student will no longer worry about takinga number of books to school. Aside from convenience, distance education programs can be economical and environmentally friendly. It is not necessary to connect with the internet; It will beeasy to find a book which read. Maybe in the near futuree-books will replace paper books.
Furthermore, Tele-education has been increasinglypopular on the internet. Wireless Fidelity is now widely available on trains and in hotels, cafes, libraries and a variety of other public spaces. (Clark .2008) Students can use lap-top, Ipad or mobile phone to study anywhere by connecting tothe Internet. Technology provides the possibility of learning whileon a bus or outside. It is not necessary to own the technology produce; the Cybercafés has already offered the service. It is only necessary to pay a little money then to use theircomputers. Even if far away from home or college, the students also can carry on with their studies. (Clark, 2008) Technology products are available to the learning spaces. In the students learning sites are not limited at school or at home. The way and place of studyingis also becoming flexible.
On the other hand, technology products also bring some threat to students ’study. Although technology products can bring convenience to study, it may also influence them in undesirable ways. People like to use e-learning because they can save every-thing. There is no need to read the material or make any particular effort tounderstand the content. It may lead to impairing the ability of students to analyst information and it may beeasy to make mistakes in their studying. (Clark,2008) Students will growdependent on learning tools to study and it may reduce their autonomous learning. Over relying on electronic products may take a heavy toll on student’s study.
Moreover, contacting with electronic products and network for a long time may easily suffer from a series of threat, such as, Internet addiction, Internet pornography and cyber-violence. Admittedly, exposure to violent movies may lead to aggressive and antisocial behaviors. An avid pursuit of science and technology products probably may lead to internet crime. Many parents said that children’s’ prolonged time working on the computer easily lead to testiness, decadence and selfishness. A growing volume of experience suggests that under the impact of negative net-culture, youths willpower is
weakened, which results in the increase of juvenile delinquency, personality defects, and damages to their physical, emotional and mental well-being.
Technology not only plays an important role in students’ study but also influences the teachers’ job. Students studying in school may find that technological devicesare increasinggradually. Undoubtedly, the technology devices have become an indispensable part of educational tool in the classroom.
Firstly, technology products probably offer a lot of information for teachers to prepare for their teaching.Dudendy claimed that (2007, p8) technology is offered with published materials such as radio, photo or resource books for teachers. For example, in the Internet an educator could find numerous materials and create a power-point courseware. Class education will not be trapped in text reading, because technology can provide the condition which would makes the course moreeiching, interesting and easier to grab the attention of the students. According to experience, technology products have a great probability ofimproving the quality of teaching and promoting education.
Furthermore, technology may help teachers to increase their efficiency and reduce workload in the school education. Davies stated that (2010, p8) “if designed appropriately, computer-assisted assessment offers a number of benefits that can enhance learning and reduce the workload of administrators.” For example, assessments online, it can access a greater range of locations for paper examinations. Teachers could transport students’ work from home and access grades from multiple locations. Teachers may also teach in a tele-teaching format, whichallowsthem to potentially take on more students and course sections because meeting times are more flexible or non-existent. Experience suggested that online assessment is feasible. Students could submit their assessment to the campus network system, and then the teacher could check the homework and return marks, all online.
While technology use in education could bring a range of benefits, however, it also has some limitations. Technology is essential for teachers but there are some instances
