Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the help of technology, students nowadays can learn more information and learn it more quickly. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Modern technologies, such as computer, the World Wide Web and the wireless telecommunication network, have changed our lives drastically. Now we can keep in touch with people everywhere, anytime with the help of the ubiquitous wireless telecommunication network. On the World Wide Web, we can get access to a lot of books and movies for free. These technologies also have a great influence on how students learn new knowledge.

First, the Internet provides students with a capacity to access knowledge easier. As we all know, teachers play a very important role in how quick and how well students can understand a subject. However, excellent teachers are rare, so very small portion of students have opportunities to listen to lectures of these teachers. Now, the Internet brings these high-quality lectures to every student. The website Coursera, for example, put lecture records of professors from Stanford, Princeton and other famous universities on its website. Therefore, all students can learn these courses from the prominent scholars in its field.

Moreover, new technologies offers teachers more means to present the ideas and contents they want to express to students. In the medical class, teachers want to show what responses patients will have to a particular medicine, then the teacher can play an episode of video to show it. It is a more efficient way then describing it with abstract words. In computer science class, teachers can demonstrate how an algorithm he talks about really work out using visualization techniques. All these can enhance learning speech and understanding of students.

In conclusion, new technologies open a door for students to directly get high-quality education from prominent teachers around the world. They also enrich teachers’ toolbox and present they with more way to impart knowledge to the next generation.
