With the development of science, more and more university students don’t like taking notes by hand. 41 They usually take pictures of what their teachers write on the blackboard. Or they shoot (录) videos of what their teachers say in class. The students might think there are too many notes to take. They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use cameras. I think the students are clever to make use of science.
But do cameras make taking notes easier The answer is no. You have to do a lot of things before you can read the notes from your cameras. 42 Then you need to send the pictures to the computer. Next, you have to find a printer (打印机) to print the pictures. Finally, you can read the notes. In addition, you can’t hear the sound from your cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything.
