Digital technology has made it easier for us to present ourselves, and it has made education easier and more accessible. However, it is also making it easier to unleash individuals in multiple directions without showing their faces or being seen. For example, there are a lot of people who judge others recklessly online, and those judgments can be made with malicious intent. Because they are online, no one can do anything about them, so they can be more open to bringing ill will to others. This was very common when digital media was just starting to develop, but as time goes by, people are now gradually starting to monitor each other and the online environment is getting better and better. Nowadays, in the comments section under many video bloggers, there are more compliments and discussions than comments. People are spreading their goodwill to bring compliments instead of malicious comments.
With more and more platforms available now, it is also easier for people to learn from a variety of platforms. More and more bloggers who specialize in instructional videos are on various platforms. Originally, if you want to learn, you need to go to YouTube to find a special education channel to learn, but now all kinds of educational videos have gradually become more interesting and shorter. I think this is a good thing, as the old educational videos were very long and exhausting to watch. Now when I swipe through Tik Tok, all of a sudden there are all sorts of interesting and educational videos, and it makes me want to watch them. For example, some simple science of history or science of interesting little experiments in psychology. Knowledge is constantly being popularized.
The presence of the teacher is very important in educational videos. If there is no presence of a teacher in an educational video, then the knowledge may cease to be knowledge. It is better to have a teacher to spread the knowledge. The presence of a teacher ensures that the knowledge is correct. The teacher can also explain and correct the wrong points better and faster when there is a deviation in the understanding. The presence of a teacher also allows for better impartiality in learning, giving better feedback and corrections when grading assignments.
Hi, Jingyi. It is obvious that digital technology does bring us a lot of convenience as well as many disadvantages as you said, because the virtual nature of the Internet also increases the pollution of the Internet environment, but these can be avoided, such as the network real name system, which can reduce those unscrupulous people on the Internet. So the Internet does bring us more benefits than entertainment It also helps us in our study and work. I also often browse a lot of science videos on Tiktok, and I’m very interested in those as well. There is also the importance of teachers as you mentioned, which can help us provide timely feedback and correction. I couldn’t agree more on these points. Thanks for sharing.
