Poor attention span and too much multitasking

If you can stay focused, a computer with the internet can be one of the best tools for learning anything. It is also easy to become too dependent on a computer and other electronic device. For example, a spell checkers is a great tool for finding misspellings. However, if you never learn the correct spelling of a word and rely on a spell checker or autocorrection, you are more likely to make spelling mistakes.

Other tools like grammar checkers, GPS, and calculator are also extremely helpful. However, if you become too dependent on these tools, you may feel helpless when they are not available.
