Attend lectures, they learn from teachers. In learning and practice of more complex ideas, the computer is not adequate. it can tell if the answer is right or wrong, but it cannot tell where the student went wrong' Tasks involving reasoning cannot be taught using computers. Moreover, teachers add their own knowledge gained through experience to that of books and other resources.
Furthermore, teachers can stimulate interest and it is an undeniable fact that interested stimulated people
Tend to learn more. They can keep students focused on the study. A student studying by himself may get bored and stop studying. Teachers can provide a faster and simpler way to present information to the students' They can come down to the level of a student and so are definitely better than computers. What is more, teachers are role models for students. They are scholars in action. They not only teach academic subjects, but also many social skills.

To conclude, it can be said that, there is no doubt that modern technology has added many new ways to
reach education to students, but attending lectures will always hold its importance.
