In recent decades, technology has progressed considerably. The use of calculators, computers, and other techniques in many fields has increased. On a large scale, technology is replacing traditional teaching methods in the field of education. Many people believe that adopting technology in the learning process can increase productivity. However, David Gelernter, a professor at Yale University and a leading figure in the field of technology, suggests limiting the use of technology in the classroom in his article "Unplugged: The Myth of Computers in the Classroom", published in New Republic magazine. in 1994. In this article, he provides a well-illustrated analysis that encourages readers to regulate the use of technology in the classroom. He believes that technology can hinder building a solid foundation of basic skills and insists that computers should facilitate the learning process and not replace cognitive thinking. Gelernter admits that computers are useful for educational purposes if used wisely. He suggests: “Computers have the potential to do great things. With the right software, they could help make science tangible or teach neglected subjects like art and music” (278). While recognizing the power of technology, it also highlights the detrimental effects of excessive use of technology in the education system. He states, “Computers are making our worst educational nightmare a reality” (279). According to him, inappropriate or excessive use of computers hinders the ability to learn. He reports that in recent years, computers have been considered a necessity in American classrooms and introduced to children as early as elementary school. However, technology can be addictive and students can abuse it, leading to a decline in educational standards. Gelernter disagrees with a school principal's comment: "Doing additions and subtractions in the age of calculators is a waste of time" (279). It reveals the bitter truth that American students are not fully prepared for college because they have underdeveloped basic skills. On the other hand, he comments: “No wonder Japanese kids blow American kids’ pants off in math” (280). It provides information from a Japanese educator that in Japan, children are not allowed to use calculators until high school. For this reason, Japanese children acquire a solid foundation of basic math skills, enabling them to perform well in math..
