The diagram above depicts the production of carbonated beverages and there are five stages of the process involved.

First, raw water is collected in a tank to be filtered. We call it the water cleaning stage. So, here the raw water will go through a filter before being infused with a water softener and some sort of chemicals. Following the cooling pipe, the water will be pumped through an electric heater and then into a carbonation tank. The process here is described as a heating evaporation and carbonation stage.

Subsequently, a carbonated drink will not be complete until it is infused with colouring, sweetener and flavour. Thus, the process moves to the next stage in which the three elements are infused into the water from the previous stage. In the mixing tank, colouring, syrup and flavour will be mixed together with the water. From here the water will pass through one more filteration before being poured into containers. This is the second-last step which is called the filtering and filling stage. Hence, the end products will be ready to be out for delivery to stores and for sales.

These days, technology has become a significant part of our lives especially when it comes to education. During the Covid-19 pandemic these past years, computer use has been adversely affected, particularly for students. This event proves the benefits of technological advancement to students all over the world by putting it to use. Also, education has been affected by technology when it becomes an integral part of each student's life. Importantly, modern day technologies have changed the dynamics of our lives for the better and worse. Through my observation, technology is necessary to be introduced to schools especially for day-today basis usage in the classrooms.

Firstly, by having computers in classrooms, students can engage technology in their academic routines as they will get a lot of assistance from it. One can, for instance, download e-handouts from teachers and have their schedule available electronically, which is a great convenience. Additionally, with the advancements made to modern computers, students can enhance their brain motors to work and to think critically since there are many features to figure out. For instance, this will be beneficial if it is introduced at an early age. Thus, early exposure should be offered to them. It is important that the government considers this idea since its use is very convenient for students and teachers.

In spite of all the advantages one technology can bring to many parties, there can also be some harmful consequences. Being attached to technological devices for most of the day can lead to technological dependence. For example, students will get used to the temptation of plagiarism. Because there are lots of ready-made materials and solutions on the internet, learners are more likely to commit plagiarism. Moreover, it will impede one's mental development and ability to think creatively. Students are tend to be spoon-fed with all the iinformation online and become more reliant on it. For instance, they will have many source of solutions for completing their homework without actually doing it on their own. Other than that, ones will lose the touch of the real world and more likely to being secluded.

Therefore, despite the many pros and cons of technology, it is entirely up to one's approach whether to use it wisely or otherwise. However, I do encourage the use of computers at school as a medium of learning.
