Computer: a Good Thing or a Bad Thing ?
We are already familiar with computers. Computers work for us at home, and in factories. But it is also true that many children today are using computers before they can write.
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that is not good for them. They think that children are growing up not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers see that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and to think for themselves. And for the future, don't we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?
计算机：好事还是坏事?
我们已经非常熟悉计算机了。计算机在家里和工厂中为我们工作。但现在许多还不会写字的孩子正在使用计算机这也是事实。
许多对计算机不了解的人认为它们只是孩子玩耍的机器。他们担心孩子们不是从经历中学习，而是靠按按钮学习，这对孩子不好。他们认为孩子正在对真实世界一无所知中长大。
但对计算机有较多了解的人们明白计算机也会对孩子十分有利。计算机可以帮助孩子更快地了解现实世界，学会想学的东西，学会独立思考。在将来，难道我们不需要可以清晰地思考，知道如何快速获得、很好利用信息的人吗?你觉得呢?
