Electronic Dictionary
Nowadays a lot of people are using electronic dictionaries instead of traditional dictionaries. They think it's handy and convenient. Whenever they need to look up a word, they can take it out and just do it. Some electronic dictionaries are integrated with many other functions, such as providing geographical information, calculating and so on. With the development of technology, people enjoy the fun and convenience that electronic dictionaries bring them.
However, with the help of electronic dictionaries, their owners may not improve their English. They become lazy because it's such an easy thing for them to find out the meaning of the word. They don't need to spend time to remember the spelling or the meaning of the word. All they need to do is to turn on e-dictionary. Some people even form a passive attitude towards learning since most of the things in study have been done by electronic dictionaries.
Thus, we need to make appropriate use of electronic dictionaries. While we are sharing the happiness and convenience they bring to us, we should also learn by ourselves.
