English Composition: The Introduction The key focus of education has been on teaching our children the basics: reading, writing and arithmetic. And in order to meet society’s standards they must be able to function within certain boundaries. So the use of certain devices has had advantages, but with those advantages come certain disadvantages. Not all children have equal access to these devices based upon their schools location and the finances available within certain districts. Their use can be a distraction as well as an attractant depending upon how they are used. As stated in Ecclesiastes 3:4, “there comes a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance….” (Ecclesiastes 3:4). And the same can be said for education, there comes a time when technology has its proper place. Even though technology is an excellent tool, its usage effects the mental, physical and psychological development of our children’s skill sets.
