Tomorrow's future is in the hands of today's students. As a society, we have blindly allowed computers into our education system in hopes of making learning fun. When in reality, learning requires hard work, discipline and responsibility; by integrating these do-it-all machines into our school system, we are hindering our students and our future. Hence the creation of an intellectually disabled society. Computers negatively impact our students in countless ways; The Internet has conveniently integrated plagiarism into many students' academic lives, opened many new windows to distract them from homework, and diminishes students' social skills. In David Gelernter's essay, Computers Can't Teach Children Basic Skills, he argues that computers are useless. in the classroom for children in grades K-12. Gelernter argues that computers should not be used as teaching tools due to the ineffectiveness of software; they are overused and replace real teaching. He believes that computers help and hinder our education system; Through supervised computer use and better programs, our students will reap the benefits without becoming dependent on technology. This widespread computer problem affects our young students who are our future leaders. The Internet capabilities of computers made it easy for students to locate, copy, and paste answers into their assignments. Although some students don't see anything wrong with this behavior, the fact is that they are not doing the work for themselves and limiting their learning and creative thinking. Internet search engines like Wiki Answers make it easy for students to access countless answers to homework problems, no work, all middle of paper......final copy the day before the project is due.

As a result, each member learned their share of information for the project. However, none of them came away with a complete understanding of the mission, due to individualized “group work.” Our students are not learning the skills to work in teams due to the use of computers in our schools. In a few years, computers will be the educators and our future will be in the hands of a machine. Today's students are shaped by our education system and our computers; computers allow plagiarism to become the norm in homework, distract our students' attention from their work, and hinder the opportunities of future socially capable adults..
