“Purchase Computers or Books”

Your school has enough money to purchase either computer for students or books for the library. Which should your school choose to buy — computers or books? Use specific reasons and examples to support your recommendation.
------------------------------


I am in favor of buying computers to books for the students. Most people welcome computers that have improved the ways we work and we play. Technology is advancing at a speed that is far beyond our imagination. Now computers are most important in our lives. Students come across computers both at home and at school. Governments worldwide have introduced computers and internet connections in classrooms.

Furthermore all businesses are fully taken over and performed by our computers only. Say banking, education, air booking, rail booking, road booking, buying selling, renting, trading in equity market, tender inquiries and what not. Even marriages are also fixed on internet. I am reminded of an old saying is that has rotated by 180 degrees now, that is-----
“Marriages Are Made In Heaven” now modified as “Marriages Are Made On Internet”.

However books in no way lose their importance. Books are the real treasures of knowledge and information. Books are our real companions. Starting from nursery days, we came across books only and our excitement and delight of seeing the glossy pages with shinning bright photos of animals, fruits, vegetables, ponds, rivers, falls, seas, trains, airplanes and natural scenes is a marvelous unforgettable memory that we cherish today. Even today we need magazines and novels to be with us while we travel in a travel. Books are our companions when we wait for a flight or train to arrive or we are having a torturous wait in a hospital or a super specialist’s office.

In nutshell, for the purpose of student’s education, it is better for the school to buy computers than books in view of existing trend.
