Why Computers Should Be Placed In A Dedicated Lab Room?
1. Computers can think. Thinking is the process of giving reasons or considerations about something. There have been arguments that computers do not show any consciousness and only conscious things can think, but how do we know if something is conscious?
Thinking can include providing answers to questions and computers do provide answers to our questions and these answers cannot be distinguished with the answers provided by human beings. Also it cannot be said that something is conscious or thinking by just looking at it. A thing is thinking if it meets the same behavioural criteria as human beings-if it acts in the same way as human beings do act when thinking, human beings can give reasoning for what they claim to have been thinking about; if this is so, computers can also provide answers to the instructions or questions that were executed to them.
2. Yes, computers should be placed in a dedicated lab room for the following reasons:-
• For security purposes- When they are stored in one room, it will be easy to lock the room, knowing that all the computers are protected, and all the windows can be closed. One security guard can look after all the computers at once.
• Climate control-it can be easier to control the environment under which all computers are stored, things like air conditioning, sealing all the windows …show more content…
For learners to be successful in life, they need to rely on themselves. This applies also to the use of the internet, learners at young ages-in primary level, need to be taught how to think and do things for themselves. They should be able to use their brains for their assignments. Being able to do this gives them the tools for becoming successful in life. Computer literacy should be taught at secondary level, when learners are critical thinkers and can do the thinking for themselves. At this stage, they will be able to merge their thinking with the information from the internet, making them have assignments that are fed with lots of
