Essay (Main body) Advantages and disadvantages of using software applications in education.

In recent research article published in July 2022 it was stated that one of the advantages for student is none-attachment to a certain location (Shokirovch, 2022). Meaning, student can be in learning process not depending on location. This factor brings a huge positive impact in education application future. It leads to accessibility of any education worldwide. Important advantage is getting familiar with technologies. For students who had not have an opportunity to study in so called “technology advanced world” as we live in now, for those people it could take time to adjust to technologies used daily at work, home, and studies. However, students who studied using APPs are prepared for modern world. One of the issue students can come across during increased usage of applications is increased screentime. It can lead to screen addiction, increased risk of obesity, sleep deprivation and so on (Sultana, et al. 2021). To monitor screentime, student could implement time management to create a balanced lifestyle, therefore, reduce possibility of being affected by high screentime. It is important to recognize the issue before it develops in more serious ways. Lastly, students are less socialising. “The lack of in-person communication is a problem that appears to be increasing with younger generations” (Loveless, no date). It is well known that human beings are social species and socialising is essential to us, spending excessive amount of time on APPs can lead to decreased socialization which can lead to decreased confidence. Students might be unprepared for face-to-face conversations and develop social anxiety or other related disorders, therefore, it is essential to estimate screentime and act accordingly.
