In their opinion, using internet make the easier to copy and paste the information that they get. In addition, the use of internet will make student dont think critically when the get the knowledge. The situation is different when they use a book. When they use a book, it will make them to read, understand and type one by one the information in order to finish the assigment.

However, the usage of calculator actually make student very lazy to memorize the important equation or formula. They just have to press or key in whatever they want and they will get the answer. Formerly student in past 10 years ago, they have to memorize all the mathematic table and formula. For instance, in PMR mathematic test, they provided a formula book for student to refer. So that the student know how to use that book or just remember it. The situation is different now. Student nowadays very depend on calculator and they cant solve the mathematic question if they do not use a calculator.
