The Effects of Technology on Learning
The technological advances of the last few years have been amazing. Never before have students had such a wide variety of resources to help them in their studies. Those who can take advantage of these resources have the opportunity to learn about more subjects and to acquire more in-depth knowledge. In my opinion, students can indeed learn more and learn more quickly with the help of modern technology.
The piece of technology most important as a learning tool must be the computer. Paired with the Internet, it allows students to research topics more quickly and thoroughly and to write up their findings more rapidly as well. Furthermore, advances in many fields are being made so fast these days that it is impossible four textbooks to keep up. Technology allows students to keep abreast of the latest developments. Also, it cannot be denied that many students enjoy using such resources in their studies. Because of this, they are more likely to pursue subjects in greater depth.
For all these reasons, I believe that technology is of great benefit to todays students. Of course, it is still possible to learn without the aid of such devices, but I believe that those students who are fortunate enough to have access to technological resources should take every advantage of them.

科技对学习的影响
近几年来，科技方面的进步相当惊人。学生从来没有过这么多各种各样的资源来帮助他们学习。能够利用这些资源的人有机会学习更多的课题，并获得更深入的知识。依我之见，有了现代科技的协助，学习确实能够学得更多，而且学得更快。
科技上最重要的学习工具非电脑莫属。电脑搭配互联网的使用，使得学生能够更快速、更彻底地研究他们的课题，也能更迅速地详细写出他们的发现。此外，目前许多领域都进步神速，教科书根本不可能跟得上，而科技让学生能够跟得上最新的发展。并且，不可否认的是，许多学生在学习时也非常喜欢使用这样的资源。这样，他们较有可能更深入地研究各种课题。
基于这些理由，我相信科技对现今的学生有极大的帮助。当然，没有这些设备的协助也是有可能学习的。但我认为，那些有幸能够使用科技资源的学生都应该善于利用这些资源。
