“ I am a computer addict” that is what most student scream”
We all know that technology is the reason why there are such inventions happening. Truly, it advances rapidly and contribute lots of useful things like cell phone, satellites , television especially computer. We can say that computer have lots of uses, it can be used in communication , gathering information and many more. It is very useful so students often use this in a wrong way.
Online gaming, face book, e-mail and other computer programs that captures students ‘ interest. They use computer to fulfil themselves and to sustain their pleasures. In that case, we can say that they are using computer not for education but for addiction. If the time comes that when the students feel that they can’t live a day without using computer it means they are addicted to it.
Computer addiction leads to many failures , like failing grades, vision problems, and most of all problems. It also affect the social skills of the students, for example ; a student which is always sitting in front of computer and just playing online games, spends lesser time with friends , to the point listing them. If you are addicted on computer , you warn yourself. Be awake and stop using computer in a wrong way . Instead of using computer as a drug that was being taken by addicts ,let’s use computer as our reference and helper in our study. Maybe you already know what computer addiction may bring.
Truly, technology made a big change in our community but we must not be too dependent to it.
Let’s make computer our helpers for our education.
