Choose a problem facing Seoul or another city that you are familiar with. Explain how we can solve it using technology.

Seoul and South Korea are getting tremendous attention these days. However, despite all the positive things, there are some very negative things happening to Seoul that a lot of citizens are familiar with. For example, taking long classes after school and having no time to have some restful sleep is a problem faced by many students. This is one of the worst problems that students face in Korea - having to go to so many lessons that they can’t get enough rest as well. However, there is the perfect solution for that in the form of a simple technology. Some people may say that this could actually cause more harm to the students since being exposed to too many screens is bad for their health and eyesight. However, I do not think the same. The reason I think that technology will cure this problem is because it can help to increase students’ sleeping time and they will also learn some management skills from it.

First of all, technology can help students because it can increase sleeping time. If you think logically, this makes sense. Even though online lessons have some consequences, students who study until late at night can simply stay in their homes while taking the classes. This way, not only will the students have more time to sleep, but could also get ready for bed straight away when class finishes since there is no delay due to walking or driving back home. It wouldn’t be so efficient if every single student suddenly stopped taking in-person classes and only did virtual ones, but it would be better if most students started caring more about their health. So from this, you can see that  technology does not only pose harm to the students; it could also be used for something good.

Secondly, if students used onlines classes, then their management skills would increase. Why? It is simply because they could get organized by scheduling their classes and getting ready to study. This could also be very helpful towards the students because they could get easily distracted in online classes, so from this experience, they could learn how to control themselves and focus in class. Some people may point out that distractions could be a bad thing, since it leads to the students having to struggle focusing in class. However, I disagree with this opinion because, like I had said, from this experience students can learn how to control and take care of themselves. So rather than a negative experience, I can proudly say that it could also become a positive and better experience for most of the students.

So in conclusion, we can help students in Seoul by using technology (in this case, online classes). Many people think that using technology is worse than just doing the authentic version of it. While it may be true, that is not always the case, like this one. In the future, I hope all problems could be solved just by simply using technology. I hope students will live a happier life. I wish everything could be better.
