socializa*on and communica*on skills development.

Introduc-on:
In the hallowed halls of educa-on, the steady march of computers is redefining the very
essence of what it means to learn, propelling us into an era where the click of a mouse holds
the power to shape young minds. (hook) In today's rapidly evolving world, the increasing
integra-on of computers in educa-on has sparked a conten-ous debate (background). While
some argue that this trend is a posi-ve development, enhancing learning outcomes and
preparing students for the digital age, others contend that it brings about detrimental
consequences, such as decreased social interac-on. From my perspec-ve, I firmly believe that
the benefits of incorpora-ng computers in educa-on outweigh the poten-al drawbacks
(thesis).
