About 30 years ago, nobody had a personal computer. If you were to hand in schoolwork, you would have to hand write it or if you couldn't afford it, type it on a typewriter. Researching was painful because you would have to go to a library and try to find the right book. Or you would have to look into an encyclopaedia, which could quite possibly be out of date. So therefore you work could be incorrect.
             Computers have come a long way since the pen and paper and typewriters. Nowadays we use them for all sorts of educational needs. We are able to type our work up nice a neatly, so it is presented well. We use it for research, and now we are able to use it for oral presentations, by using a PowerPoint display on a light-pro projector. This replaces the old and boring charts or overhead projectors or slides and of course the really boring "stand up for 3 minute speech." All of this has changed our education and made it more interesting and fun, but not too fun.
             Although there are few problems that have affected students. Some of us students have become too independent on computer. Such as grammar and hand writing . These basic skills are lost because computers automatically do these things for us. It also doesn't come at a cheap price. The average personal home computer costs around $1500 to $5000. Which is a lot of money but is well worth it.
             Computer technology and CD-ROM's have revolutionised the way that students research, learn and present their work. In the earlier years of this technical revolution, one single CD-ROM replaced shelves of encyclopaedias. Thus giving much easier research a effectiveness. The financial aspect is good because a library of encyclopaedias costs hundreds of dollars just for one set. The information in it would be out of date in afew years. Whereas an encyclopaedia CD-ROM would cost you only a fraction of the cost of a set of encyc
