Application software and students today

Is application sosftware , word processing systems to be specific , is promoting laziness among students. Is it robbing the culture of learning wereby students had to research and write essays correcting errors by themselves. I don't know. This is a topic under discussion.

Well I think word processing systems are indeed helpful in writting essays. For instance you are given a four thoudand word assignment one would probably lose count while writting because it would be very difficult to count four thousand words.

Looking on the other side of the coin it sort of promotes laziness because one person can become too reluctant to correct grammer or spellindg mistakes.

Anyway I am a student and I really think word proccessing systems come in handy when I am tired or having too much work on hand. Seriously imagine having two two thousand word assignments due on the same day in the same week. You can't possibly write the both , count the words and correct the grammer and spelings manually. The lecturers are giving students these long assignments knowing that there is the taechnology that can allow people to write a grammatically correct assignment on time. I seriously don't agree with the fact that application software is encouraging laziness in students.

This is the technological era and students have the right to take advantage of it. The person who thought knew that it would come in handy especially in the world of academia...What do you think?? food for thought..

Computer at risk

Have you ever thought about viruses. I mean everyone knows about viruses but a bit ignorant. But who writes viruses and what do they gain from doing that.

Virus authors also known as "Unscrupulous programmers " take their precious time writing and formulating viruses. Most authors post the viruses on the internet through commercials and eye catching advertisements. The moment you click on it then your computer is exposed to high risk. What do you expect from a virus attack definitely there is some form of "infection". The moment your p.c is infected then you are going to experience abnormal functions like files deleting themselves or freezing of some pro grammes just to mention a few causes...

The saving grace is no matter how the the authors try to produce more viruses then the more we have contradicting minds which have the people's interests at heart. Some of the virus authors also produce anti virus pro grammes too. They produce viruses and they also write anti virus programs and pretend to be the "good guys". But to save yourself from all the trouble just purchase a copyrighted anti virus program.

So what do we do to virus authors????? I don't know..... Save your computer form "crushing" install an anti virus program and make the virus authors jobless..... What do you think of virus authors....... Post your comments and make a difference...
