And explain how you feel about the decision you made.
Model
Answer:-
Frankly speaking, it is impossible to imagine life without technology because we use technologies to execute almost every work in our day-to-day life. Here I would like to talk about the app that I haven’t been using is facebook.
I started using this social networking site when I bought my first android phone about 4 years ago. One of my friends asked me to download Facebook application from play store and I did. But for last couple of months I stopped using it. Because I did not feel secure, I realized that my privacy is under threat.
Many times I received unwanted friend requests and sometimes fake profiles sent dirty messages and asked for my cell phone number. Once I received a message that my account was tried to log in from other location and the facebook was confirming that was me or not. That made me conscious about how I should use this site.
Finally I made my mind to stop using this platform and switched to Instagram. After leaving the site I felt that I have a lot of time for other activities that can help me improve mentally and physically. I would kill my precious time on facebook. I think, it was a good decision.
Part 3
Computer games
Example Questions
What kinds of computer games do people play in your
country?
People enjoy playing many games but PUBG has outplayed almost every computer and video game in India. People in my country also play Apex Legends , Call of Duty and many more. People are interested to play games in which they have to hit the targets , steal anything or kill maximum numbers of people. I don’t play computer and mobile games so I don’t have more ideas to put forward.
Why do people enjoy playing computer games?
I see that people are hypnotized by video , mobile and computer games. They steal time to enjoy the games. People who are free and want to spend their time without being bored, they use their time to play games. Some people play such games because they are addicted to them.
Do you think that all computer games should have a
minimum age for players?
Yes. I think , there should be a regulation very them companies or the people who develop games. Some games are very violent and children try to repeat what they experience virtually. The Government have an eye on games this could be better. One thing also strikes in my mind , the one who wants to play game , will violate the age criteria and regulation imposed by Government.
Technology in Classroom
Example Questions
In what ways can technology in classroom be helpful?
Technology has become integral part of every class room. The educational institutions deploy various kinds of technologies to educate the students. If I talk about schools they have interactive boards to education young kids. And universities and colleges allow students to record the lecture by their mobile phones and they have LCD, LED and projectors in classrooms to make learning exciting. Technology has played a huge role to transform the classrooms.
Do you agree that students are often better at using
technology than their students?
I think, it is true. The students are good at using the technologies than their educators. The present generation of young boys and girls is inclined to technology and they are often seen trying to use that technology. They are now not limited to their classrooms. They learn from YouTube and Google also. Sometimes their teachers seek their help to operate certain gadgets.
Do you believe that computers will replace human
teachers?
It seems as the science and technology is advancing. But learning from a teacher has its own value. Learning from a robot may not satisfy the learners as we want human touch around as. We not only need to have corporate skills to do job or business. We need to learn some social values , respect elders , helping each others, connecting to our inner self and so on. I think computers cannot do this. Computers may not replace human teachers , I believe.
