Are internet and phones damaging education?

That is what study carried out by the Cranfield School of Management in the UK reveals. The research points that almost 60 percent of schoolchildren are guilty of lifting content directly from online sources when completing homework beyond the gaze of their teachers. Some 25 percent of those students also intimated through the survey that copying online information was acceptable – despite acknowledging that to do so was plagiarism.

But what about the positive contribution of internet in education? Do you think than the negative overpowers the positives?
