Blog Prompt 21-2

Hi all!
Today I will be voicing my opinions about the following topic:
Can the Machine Ever Replace the Teacher?

Well, I think that Computers can never and will never replace teachers.
Computers, are the modern technology that contains information form all over the world. Of course, computers are somewhat more accurate and reliable than teachers. Computers can also do much more than several subject teachers combined. However, teachers have many characteristics that a computer do not have at this point of time.

Teachers. They do not break down. Even if they are on a medical leave there will always be a replacement to help teach the class, and you do not have to pay a thousand bucks for that. However, If a computer breaks down, you would have to get a new one in order to continue with work. Therefore, the teachers are better than computers in this point.

Another thing that computers do not have is a heart. Teachers, because they have a heart, teach wholeheartedly, and sometimes show you the light in life. This is not the case for computers. Computers teach only subjects, and they will not lead you to become successful people in the future. They would only pass on to you what you Want to learn, and not what you Need to learn, that is important for your future. Thus, teachers play a more important role for your future than computers.

Lastly, I would like to say that the lessons that teachers teach is much more interesting than computers. The lessons that teachers teach are more interactive and two sided, as there is a lot of communication between teacher and student. However, lessons taught by computer is more of a one-sided learning, when the computers say all that it wants to say, and the lesson is done. You don't even have a chance to voice your thoughts. This shows that the teachers' teachings are more interesting and enjoyable than the computers' lessons.

Although computers may be better than teachers in certain ways too, but I think that it will never be able to replace teachers in the mere future.
