CHAPTER 2: TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR BANE

The world has become so dependent on technology that even students now prefer to use technology in their educational life in various ways. Considering assignments as for instance, students get a whole lot of data on the internet and even a chance to interact with their professors online. This also reduces the burden or pain of travelling long distances to their professor's home for tutoring purposes.

Technology can be considered to be a blessing to all the students. Some students may not afford to attend regular schools or college to complete their education. Also, some may not even have the required money to even travel to other countries or cities and even towns to pursue their education. With this regard, technology therefore plays a vital role in such circumstances. Students can continue to learn in their premises only with the help of technology provided they at least have access to them. Apart from this, online courses are provided by reputed educational institutions.

So, while an individual is at work or cannot attend an institute for family issues can continue to pursue their higher studies online. Thus, technology has increased the power of education.

It has increased the literacy ratio in the world. In today's world, every person has access to quality education. Technology has indeed helped in educating the world on a regular basis. It has provided the framework for the establishment of education in the real sense. Henceforth, inclusion of technology in the educational field has changed the way we learn in the most convenient ways and therefore, it is a boon.

Schools have started introducing the idea of using tablets for taking down notes, writing simple tests and completing their projects. This gets the mind of a student completely in technology and they tend to forget the use of books. Earlier students did not have the idea of using internet to browse information about different topics and were dependent completely on books which resulted in a very good vocabulary, but students these days do not have much of a good vocabulary.

They start to expect everything just by a touch on the screen. The students finish their work just for the sake of it and actually don't show any interest in it. Technology is good enough provided it is used in the right field and in the right age.

Each of them has their own versions with even more advanced apps. Such devices help us finish loads of work with ease, but using such devices even in fields of education might affect the habits of students.

In our era today, technology is much important in such way that it can communicate people to people. Educators are the most user of technology, they use it for their assignments, activities or anything that can used an internet and even personal information’s are being publish with the help of social media.

But there are also disadvantages of technology, one is we will become a lazy person and we will become dependent. We can even rely on the technology in making our assignments for example, making projects. That’s why students who can rely in the technology are being lazy. Those pornographic presentations, games like COC, DOTA and other online games that a students must be addicted.

But one thing is for sure is that it depends upon us on how we can use the technology properly. We are the responsible on our own actions and decisions in life. It’s up to us if we want to poison our life in the use of technology or take benefits from our technology.
