6、ects of an over-reliance on technology on education. Many claim that contemporary technologies are advancing education, as it opens up opportunities for students and teachers to learn, discover and research. But as time goes by, some adverse effects have emerged. In the first place, one of the major
7、 flaws of over-reliance on modern technology is that the more we rely on the search engine, such as Baidu and Google to find answers, the less we inspire our own minds to come up with thoughts or opinions independently. In the second place, the Internet provides us with a world of information at our
8、 fingertips. With the simple act of typing a keyword and tapping the search button, a list of thousands of relevant articles pop up in a second.
