the first stage deals with filtering out the water and ensuring that it is thoroughly cleaned after being passed through a water softener and the necessary chemicals are added. the softened water is then pumped into electrical heaters.
in the second stage, the heated water is soon passed from the electric heaters into a cooling pipe. once the water passes through the cooling pipe it is later put in a large container and mixed with carbon dioxide.
the third stage involves adding the carbonated water into a mixing tank where it is mixed with colouring, syrup and flavour. once this occurs the mixed drink is then put through a filter and put through the fourth stage.

Computers and other electronic devices have been incorporated into our everyday lives and present various benefits such as long-distance communication, e-trading, e-learning and others. Computers have especially proven their benefits in the educational industry whether in the provision of e-libraries, creation of sites for educational institutes (e.g moodle) that aid long-distance learning or assisting teachers in the creation of a teaching plan, these devices have proven indispensable. However, they are not without their risk and concerns to the students who use them. this essay will not only compare the advantages and disadvantages of computers in teaching but also my opinions and related examples on the both of them.
firstly, introducing computers into the class room and using them for direct teaching proposes bring about flexibility and convenience. this can be done through the use of e-learning, also known as electronic learning. e-learning is the act of studying via the internet and this was especially common during the covid-19 pandemic lockdowns which occurred in 2020. this is because during the lockdown schools had to close down according to protocols while students and teachers had to look for a different means to proceed with their educational scheme so as not the fall behind. although e-learning has its numerous benefits its not without its faults. e-learning is a good way of ensuring that teaching and classes take place but it has proven to be quite distracting. this is because the computers or electronic device with which learning takes place also contain social media or gaming apps which could be used by the students during class.
secondly, computers can be set up to aid students in educational research. this could happen by them going online and visiting related sites or e-library which have been set up by the educational institute to help them access relevant books online. students can also share their views and opinions on certain topics as they review eachother's work. however, most students are sometimes prone to online critizim which could also affect their state of mind or could lower their motivation for learning.
while putting the advantages and disadvantages sitde by side I believe that the latter far outweigh the former. this is because while using computers may increase flexibility it can pose the threat of distractions which cannot be solved with further technological advancement and the likes. of course many will argue in favour of it's advantages, however a closer inspection into the repercussions of the use of computer in learning will eventually come to question if the benefits are far greater than it's losses.
