The diagram illustrates the processes entailed in the production of carbonated drinks. Overall, there are five primary steps involved.

The first involves purification of raw water and entails filteration, softening of the water and addition of chemicals. Subsequently it is pumped into an electric heater where the second step begins. The supposedly purified water is then heated electrically and transported into a chamber via a cooling pipe. In this chamber carbonation occurs.

The third stage is the mixing stage. Following carbonation the fluid is transported to a huge tank where colors, syrup and flavor are added and then mixed. The finished product is then filtered once again and then filled into cans. The filteration and filling process heralds the fourth phase.

Computers and other electronic devices have transformed many aspects of human life, prominent amongst which is education. Reliance on these electronic device, however may not be advisable. This essay will attempt to discuss the debate and end with a concluding view.

On the one hand, computers have revolutionized learning in several ways. Firstly, they have enabled a quick and easy access to educational articles and materials thus removing the burden of having to search through piles of books in the library. With the aid of internet-enabled devices, one can now sit in the comfort of his/her room and access enormous articles and books, attend courses and even obtain academic degrees. Furthermore computers with large memory capacity has made storage of information and articles less cumbersome. It's portability has reduced the need of having a large storage space for books or even a gigantic library as there are now quite a handful of digital library.

Computers and equally other electronic devices however have some drawbacks which will make an absolute reliance on it disastrous. Foremost is that being a mechanical device it is prone to damage and corruption which may inevitably lead to the loss of the information or materials contained therein and therefore halt the learning process if it was the sole method in use. Recently a university in Nigeria had their information system hacked and students manipulated their grades. Another important pitfall is that one can easily get distracted when using computers for learning purposes. These devices have several other uses such as gaming, watching movies as well as social networking, particularly if it's internet- enabled. Many youths thus tend to get easily distracted while studying. This has been asserted by an online survey which demonstrated that a significant proportion of high school and college students can't study for greater than half an hour without surfing the net.

Overall, it would seem that despite the huge educational benefits of computers, concerted efforts must be made to retain the traditional learning methods due to some of the pitfalls mentioned above.
