In every culture everywhere in the world most people use technology in their life to help them solve problems easily. Of course, using technology is a new way to learn in modern life. People can know more information expediently. Even some students use technology in class to take notes and browse website which related to the class. But every coins have two sides, using technology in learning also have some disadvantages. These negative effect not only can affect learning efficiency, but also give people a bad influence in brain. Inability to focus, inability to form neural connections and addiction are three disadvantages of using technology to learn.
Inability to focus is the first disadvantage of using technology to learn. Sometimes, people …show more content…
When people remember events, neural connections will be formed in their brains. When people use the Internet and do other things as the same time, people’s brains cannot form neural connections which can make people remember things deeply (Carr, 2010, para.4). That means Internet and other technology will have negative effects to our neural connections. Using technology to learn, people will be difficult to remember information. It will harm to people’s memory. On the other hand, when people learn information, their brain will change, but it does not mean that the existence of neural plasticity equal to the brain will change shape absolutely by experience (Pinker, 2010, para.5). Though people learn a lot of information from technology, their neural connections also can not be formed. Thus, using technology to learn will take a toll on human’s neural …show more content…
Technology is not only for learning, but also for fun. So, people spend more and more time using technology. There are an elaborate study. Americans spent 1.7 trillion hours in using technology. Each person would spend 15.5 hours on average in media per day (Purcell & Rainie, 2014, para.3). People who can not control themselves will be more likely to be addicted. They will spend more and more time in media, so that they do not have enough time to do other work. Pinker(2010) stated that “the constant arrival of information packets can be distracting or addictive, especially to people with attention deficit disorder.” That means that a great deal of information can make people who can not control themselves be addicted. For these people, it is possible that they will be addicted to technology and not focus on their class or textbook. Thus, technology can be addicting people, and the situation is not good for learning.
Overall, using technology in learning can make people inability to focus, inability to form neural connections and addiction. It is important that people should control themselves and use technology reasonably when they are learning. Technology is just an auxiliary means in learning. When people use technology to learn, first, they should focus on one thing and they should control themselves that do not open other websites. Thus, do not rely on technology when people are
