Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

Traditional learning using regular text book and other print references is way effective. I have to consider though the use of computer for advance learning specially in our modern world today that almost everything depends on technology. However, when it comes to learning essence using text books holds more knowledgeable than of anything else. From reading books, we have come up to an idea that "reading is learning". For digital format books, you can have them done reprinted on traditional books or booklets if you want to, try it at http://www.digitekprinting.com/bound-books-black-white .

With a computer, you aren't limited to one resource.

With computers, you have access to a plethora of knowledge and all you have to do is use a search engine. Also, you can find specific topics that you want to learn about faster and quickly look up references. Seriously, when was the last time you've been to the library for books?

computers have way more information cause most non-fiction books are based on one type of information yet on the internet you learn about the great wall of china, minimize ebay where your about to out bid some weird from norway, all while listening to american idiot by green day can a book do that oh, and wondering you don't need to download anything and if you did you wouldn't get any virus by doing that if you got norton security which you do not have to buy and therefore, computers are better than books
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

I would have to say, firstly, you don't write very well, which usually has something to do with one's ability to read, which has an adult, has nothing to do with computers vs. books. Secondly, the question is, "Are books or computers better for learning?", which then leads to another question, "for what category of people?" Everything you said in your response was based as an adults view of maybe randomly wanting to look something up(learn about) along with shopping and playing music which have nothing to do with what really causes more successful learning in ones brain. If you were to apply the question to a class of first graders just learning to read, the various aspects of accuracy in the question would be vitally important to the answer. As an adult, learning through use of a computer vs a book would depend on specifically what you were trying to learn, how much time you had available, and how pertinent having the exact accurate information really is. There are many things in books that cannot be found anywhere on the internet.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

That wasn't the point. The point was to emphasize on how the computer opens up a world of opportunities... including multi-tasking. While this approach might not work for everyone, it offers a promising learning opportunity to others. Music and audio prompts have been known to promote good retention of information. While the analysis found in books cannot be found on the Internet (often), for most of the general public, this analysis is not a necessity. The point here is not to analyze a piece of work, or go deep into the depths of a subject. It is to learn. And while books provide a more in depth approach to a subject, the computer has many, many more sources to study that subject from... which allows you to choose exactly what you want to learn. You are right about the accuracy of information though... but the Internet provides many, many sources to cross-reference the accuracy of suspicious "facts."While I concede some of your points, I refuse to accept most of your argument. Good day :)PS: I'm 13 and my English isn't terrible, is it? My use of the Internet far outweighs anything my father uses and yet his English level is of a similar to better ability than mine. Never mind. One points I failed to mention was that you can find books on the Internet, but not the Internet in books ;)
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

of course computers. computers in this case is 'Internet'- internet is more complete than book, if we do some homeworks, and we don't know the answer, we search on the book, but we don't get it from book, and we search the internet, we get the answer.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

I think people are confusing the very word 'learning'. Yes a book is definitely a source of information and a very primitive one, and sometimes during exams it's better to study the hard copies..but learning in the very true essence of it means gathering of information and expanding one's horizons..and i think computer is the key. With the help of the world wide web we can not only get electronic copies of 'books' but also informations regarding the latest developments and the latest technologies which we will definitely not find in the books this soon. and to which none of you can disagree..so a computer doesn't only supply us with a much much much much wider source of information and knowledge but also keeps us much ahead of our time than would happen with a book..i also see people writing here that it might be tough to learn computers..well in today's world i don't think the person who doesn't know the very basics of computer and accessing the internet and stuff is much interested in gathering knowledge. because these are the simplest of stuff..and there's no way people can disagree. Therefore and for many other points which are also there i say 'computer'!!!

Side: computers

If you know how to navigate the web well to find the information you need then comouters are better because you have all the information you need in one location :) You don't need to worry about book fines at the library or buying books. Info on the computer is mainly free and is easy to find. Computers are faster and its free
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

Information is free and easy to find, and it's conveniently easy to look for. I agree with that. But GOOD information, however, that's a different story. Read my post on the other column. ;)
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

I for one spend hours on the internet trying to complete research for a project because every site gives me different answers and because i have to determine if the sites are creditable. I recently received a textbook for my course and find it a godsend because all the information i want and need are right there. And i know it is reliable information.

COMPUTERS ARE BETTER THAN BOOKS WHY WELL THEY ARE MORE EASIER TO LEARN FROM AND IT HAS MORE INFO THAN BOOKS BECAUSE COMPUTERS HAVE MORE THAN 1 RESOURCES AND THEREFORE BOOKS ONLY 1 LI METED RESOURCES PLUS COMPUTERS ARE MORE CONVENIENT

Obviously the computer doesn't teach you all how to use correct grammar though, does it?
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Kids go to school and when they get out all of a sudden they forget everything they have learned. Why is this behavior common? Something is not right. Books are more boring, because there is no interaction with the reader. With computers you can make exercises, watch learning videos, and there are official sites that are safe for learning. This is the time of technology, books are old fashioned, and the might have worked, but not any more. We have to look forward to the future, we have to learn with computers
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Computers are if they have internet. The internet has unlimited. information updated and added too every 0.10 seconds. Plus you can get or print any book off the internet except books that only one person has made and seen such as diarys, journals, scrapbooks, ect. But you can find them if they hae been uploaded to the internet. So over all the internet wins 3 to 1.

Have you ever really read a good book?Btw, reading on the computer hurts your eyes in a shorter term than reading books. Especialy because everyone seems to create text on white backgrounds.

Just saying but, if you read books then you should know your grammar and vocabulary yourself, you shouldn't need any spell check.

Computers are a lot lighter than books. Some fat books are heavier that two kilograms. Computers, ecspecially laptops, are a lot lighter than computers.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

on the internet you can research different topics whereas each book has seperated topics.when you search something on the internet all the information comes in one article but in a book you have to look through the chapters. thats one of my reasons
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

But information on the internet isn't 100% right. (Like wikipedia)
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Neither is information in books. A book published 5 years ago may state something as fact that has been disproven this year.Information on the internet can be updated easily- a printed book can't exactly be updated- rather, a new edition has to be released.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?

computers are better than books because a computer can hold a whole libary a single computer contains more information than a huge library
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

if computers are not better so dont use modern technology dont watch tv dont use electricity
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

To begin with I would like to say that computers are more suitable for learning because of many factors, such as: Firstly, modern computers contains a lot of downloaded, it is obviously a real fund of knowledge. You may take it wherever you want. Secondly, simplified search of information, for example : you can find any information in a few seconds. Thirdly , computers have an Internet connecting that helps people to know almost everything , thereby automatically computers become the best source of leaning.

Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Computers+internet>books. No matter how big a Library you are in, there will always be virtually infinitely more info inline. Plus it will generally take less time to track down a specific piece of information online. And the internet constantly updates itself.That said, there is a LOT of crap information online. You need to be able to identify good sources and be ready to research the sources. But, really this is also true of books.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

No you are wrong books may have only have one topic but they give you deep information.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

And the internet doesn't? Remember, if you know where to look, almost any book can be accessed online, as well as any article, many newspapers and other literature from all over the world. How can a book possibly get "deeper".
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

Well online some people sit there everyday and turn fat, probably like you. you will also get bad eye strain
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

And people who lay around reading all day won't?It isn't the format, it is the person. If they balance their day with activity AND spend time online it is no different from a person who is active AND reads. And there are things one can do to minimize eye stress from the computer, just like reading in bad light can stress your eyes.Horrible arguments and an unsubstantiated personal attack (do I look fat in my profile pic?), you aren't going to fair well around here.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

One very good point for computers is that they can be updated. Many books, especially school textbooks, are outdated and contain information that has already changed. Computers always add stuff and have new up to date information.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: Books

Oh so you are one of those computer lovers too maybey you should look in the mirror and see how fat you are
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

What the hell? I was bringing up a good point for computers. Im not one of those "computer lovers". I don't know what your stupid comment was supposed too mean. Don't get mad just because I brought up a good point against books. I think you are the one that needs to take a good hard look in the mirror.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

I'm going to go with computers, because for the most part that also encompasses books.While I hesitate to say 100%, NEARLY all books that are currently in circulation can be found on the internet, either in a hand-transcribed document, a scanned document, or a published ebook.And there is a lot of information on the internet that isn't actually published anywhere- or at least, isn't published anywhere that can be readily accessed by the average person.The internet also has the advantage of being easy to update when new information is available. A book on any given field of study is already behind the curve by the time it's sent to editing, and even morseo by the time it's published and hits the shelves. Any new discoveries, including those that reveal flaws in previously drawn conclusions, are unavailable in book form until the next edition is published. The ease of updating can also be a disadvantage however- such as when Wikipedia is vandalized.That said, learning using the internet is also more difficult due to a significantly lower signal to noise ratio. When using the internet as opposed to a library, one has to be far more focused to avoid distraction, as well as far more able to filter out misinformation and vet sources.

Computers are better than books because information that you can find in a book, can be found on the internet. Computers have MORE information
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Computers are superior to books simply because computers can hold WAY more information than a book can. A book is physically limited to a specific number of pages whereas the amount of information a computer can hold is extremely high. Times have changed and I would rather have the internet where I could find something in a matter of seconds than have to flick through pages and pages.
