Improved/Efficient methods of education: Modern technology has made it easier for students to learn from anywhere through online education and mobile education. Also, students now use modern technology in the classroom for more efficient methods of learning. For example, students use iPads/Laptops to share visual presentations with fellow students in the classroom. This has made learning more convenient and enjoyable. Also new modern educational technologies support individual learning, which gives a chance to students to learn on their own with no need of tutors.
The Bad
Dependency: Technology may improve our lives in many ways, but it also makes us dependent on them to function in everyday lifestyles decisions. For example, I personally depend on my phone wherever I go. I find myself not fully complete, if I leave the house without my phone on me.
Lack of social skills: Technology may have opened windows for more forms of communications, but it also created a world where we have less face to face interactions with one another. Some people become so used to communicating behind a bright screen that they forget how to have a simple conversation with another human being.
