Books
and Laptops
Many people how difficult school life is nowadays, especially with BOOKS! We have so many books to carry around. I mean, how often you have seen some children treading to class with their huge bags, trying to sustain their balance. Being a victim myself, I would like to forbid this issue and save the future generations to come. The best part is, the solution is so simple; just use a laptop!
The main reasons I will be covering as to why books are a huge headache include; books are easy to lose; books and worksheets could make a mess; books are hard to carry around. Allow me to elaborate on these in the following paragraphs.
Everyone is busy, and with our hectic day-to-day
lives, we tend to lose things from time-to-time, especially with large numbers
of books and worksheets. I have lost multiple books and pieces of rushed
homework, it’s not funny! I remember, one time when I was packing away on a
stressful Monday morning and couldn’t help but notice my due in Physics
worksheet was missing. I searched the room frantically but I knew when I got to
school, I knew I was in for a toss. However, if the object in question was a
laptop, we will naturally value it and keep in a safe place where we KNOW it
is.
Another issue that arises is how messy things can
get and quick! As we shove more and more books into our lockers and more and
more worksheets into our folders, it gets furthermore difficult to flip through
and find what we’re looking for. A laptop however, is only the size of one book
but can hold the information of a million! Not only that, but you can find
exactly what you’re looking for within nanoseconds. I wish that was the case
when I was late for French class. Once again, I was chatting away after a long
double period. Soon, I realized I had forgotten my French notebook from my
locker. Soon I realized I was getting late, thrusting my key into the lock,
twisting it side-to-side as if my life depended on it. *Click* I swung the
locker open and reached in to grab my book, but all I could see was a void of
scattered notebooks and textbooks…
Not only do we need to carry those scoldings on
our shoulders, but obviously those darn books as well. Books are matter, we can
see them, feel them, and they have mass, a lot of it! Carrying all that weight
can cause pain, or even more severe muscle injuries. As I said earlier, some
kids walk around with HUGE bags, it would be more pleasant for them, and us to
see them, with a smaller bag walking to class in a normal manner.
As we can see, using laptops in school would be
far more convenient. This makes me realize how much easier and simpler life can
be if we used laptops in school. The main reason why many schools have not
initiated this idea, is because children may play games, which is pathetic.
This is the child’s loss and not the school’s responsibility. All in all, the
disadvantages do not outweigh the benefits in any way and we should have
laptops instead of books in school.
