Education is a more difficult task today than it was in the past because they spend so much time on cell phones, online games and social networking websites.

Education is always, and will remain essential for all the society and each family. At its most basic definition, education is nothing more than the teaching of knowledge. However, with the development of internet, more and more electronic equipments are invented nowadays, which definitely makes education a far tougher task than ever. As far as I am concerned, educating children is more difficult than before.

Admittedly, some people might support the opinion that without cell phone and internet, teachers as well as parents could only teach children by personal example and verbal instruction in the past. In that mode, virtue and high education level of these kind of teachers was required, which made teachers and parents stressed and exhausted. If the adults around the child cannot be a good example, the child certainly will not be well educated. The appearance of internet and electronic technique solve these problems, as children can gain ideas and knowledge not only from the adults nearby, but also from the internet and the farther world.

However, in my opinion, inventions like cell phone, online games and social networking Web site in fact bring more difficulties on educating children. With these high-technology products, parents might no longer attach importance to the power of accompany and personal  example, which absolutely play an improtant role in a kid’s growth. If a child grows up lacking warm and verbal instruction, he/ she might becomes apathetic and indifferent.

Additionally, children are young and have little self-control, while many parts of internet are so addictive that even adults can hardly reject. In this way, it is the responsibility of parents and teachers to govern what their children and students are searching on the website, and select the bads from the good ones, which actually add the burden of education.

To sum up, there is no denying that eduction, especially the education of children, is becoming a more and more difficult task at present, because of the development of internet and other high-technique products.
