care. It shortens the distance between people around the world the better
communication devices.
Consequently, technology is the best achievement of scientists during the humanity, because it
has improved a lot of aspects in our lives. It satisfies every wishes of man. May be the
most important fact that with the help of technology we can prevent sudden illnesses, safe
people' s life and also lengthen our life.
Modern technology is simply an advancement of old technology. The impact
of technology in modern life is unmeasurable, we use technology in different ways and
sometimes the way we implement various technologies do more damage than good. ... We
use technology on a daily basis to accomplish specific tasks or interests.
The implementation of technology in schools helps close that gap. Technology has the ability
to enhance relationships between teachers and students. ... Technology helps make teaching
and learning more meaningful and fun. Students are also able to collaborate with their own
classmates through technological applications.
If used correctly, mobile devices and the applications they support, will help prepare students for
their future careers.
It gives students the opportunity to enhance the interaction with their classmates and instructors
by encouraging collaboration.
When mobile technology is readily available and performing correctly in the classroom, students
are able to access the most up-to-date information quicker and easier than ever before.

We live in the age of technology. We commute by automobiles and airplanes and communicate
by emails and mobiles. The media and the Internet provide us the latest information from all
over the world Air conditioners and room heaters keep our life comfortable despite climatic
inconveniences. Technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives

Technology improves our goodness of life. By use the technology we have important
discoveries. In our life we depend in technology in everything in our life

The technology enters in all fields like pharmacy, medicine and engineering. It's difficult to see
field without technology. In medicine it is make a big different. Now we can treat the patient
without make meeting. It saves our time and effort and more and more in this field. The
technology makes our life easier. And the big invite which convert the impossible to possible. It
is the internet which can connect and communicate with people who are miles away from us. It's
only one of the many examples we could give it to verify the fact that the technology is a
blessing.

All media depend on the technology. Now we know what's happen in any region in world by the
media. It's easy now but in the past it's like difficult to imagine it. But the technologies make a
big Event in our life when something invite like computer, internet, cell phone.

Disadvantages:
According to my point of view, technology is a blessing. But it may be curse due to the following
reasons.

Of course, a few of us may have concerns about the pollution and environmental problems that
technology has led to. But overall most people feel that technology has benefited us immensely.

No doubt, there are countless benefits of technology. But it has some dangerous threats too. As
in education sector, students are relying on Google for their research work. They do not work on
their own. Furthermore, weapons are one of the major threats of technology to the world. Now,
a single missile can destroy the whole country, even the half of the world. Most of the people
these days wear spectacles. Because, the technology gadgets are very dangerous for eye sight.
So, while proving technology a blessing or a curse, technology can be a curse too.
Conclusion:
We can’t deny the fact that we are somehow hooked by the technology. One cannot
deny the importance of technology in our lives. Whether you like it or not, you have to
use it in your daily tasks. So, in conclusion we can say that technology is a blessing for
mankind. But there are bad effects of technology too. We can avoid these effects with a
little care. So, one can get clear thoughts about technology a blessing or a curse.

Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning. It can help affirm and advance
relationships between educators and students, reinvent our approaches to learning and collaboration,
shrink long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of
all learners.
Our schools, community colleges, and universities should be incubators of exploration and invention.
Educators should be collaborators in learning, seeking new knowledge and constantly acquiring new
skills alongside their students. Education leaders should set a vision for creating learning experiences
that provide the right tools and supports for all learners to thrive.
However, to realize fully the benefits of technology in our education system and provide authentic
learning experiences, educators need to use technology effectively in their practice. Furthermore,
education stakeholders should commit to working together to use technology to improve American
education. These stakeholders include leaders; teachers, faculty, and other educators; researchers;
policymakers; funders; technology developers; community members and organizations; and learners
and their families

Technology offers many advantages than disadvantages. It has made our life easy, comfortable,
simple and luxurious.
Technology is supporting human so much that now a person can work from his home.
It has helped a lot in uniting people. In fact, with the help of internet the world has just turned in
to a global village.
Technology doesn’t make man. Man makes technology... hence it depends on the use we employ
it.... Nuclear energy is indeed destructive.... However, if we use it constructively its great boon....
Rocket Science has many peaceful uses for space exploration & kind. But if harnessed for war
purposes it’s bound to be destructive.... Similarly, Television & Internet has its own plus & minus
side.

The Importance of Technology in Education
In the world that we currently live in, technology is a very vital factor. With each passing day a new
software or gadget is being brought into the market that serves to improve our lives in one way or
another and make it much easier and also to advance an already existing software or gadget. However, it
is important to note that despite the fact that technology plays a big role in making our lives easier, it is
not the only role it has.

Technology is increasingly growing it’s importance in the education sector. The more technology
advances, the more benefits it provides for students at every education level.

Technology in education:
Technology that is made use of in the classroom is very beneficial in helping the students understand
and absorb what they are being taught. For instance, since there are a number of students who are
visual learners, projection screens connected to computers could be put in classrooms to let the
students see their notes as opposed to simply sitting down and listening to the instructor teach.

There is a number of very good software that can be used to supplement the class curriculum. The
programs make available to students quizzes, tests, activities and study questions that could help the
students continue with the learning process when they are out of the classroom.

Today, technology has been incorporated into a good number of curriculum even those that do not
belong to the technology and computer classes. Students make use of computers to come up with
presentations and also make use of the internet to carry out research on a variety of topics for their
essays and papers.

Students also get to know how to use the technology available in the world today through the tech and
computer classes. This gives the guarantee that following their graduation, the students will not have
any difficulties with using technology when they are out there in the work place, which might serve to
make them more competitive compared to an individual who has no access to a certain software or
technology in school.
With the continuing advances in the technological world, students are getting improved access to such
educational opportunities. Every time something ‘better’ and ‘new’ is brought into the market, the price
of the existing technology is decreased which makes it much more accessible in the educational setting
even to those schools that might not have a lot of financial resources available to them.

Technology has greatly grown to the point that it is also available today to assist those kids who are yet
to begin school. There are a number of educational systems and video games for the small children that
assist them in getting ready for school and in a number of situations also give them a head start on their
education.

Why is technology important for small business?

New technology has made it easier for business to track their expenditure and income
faster and accurate. Inventory technologies play a critical in helping
warehouse companies to manage costs of products storage.
Advanced technology saves small business precious resources as time and physical
space
In today’s medical field technology plays a big role when it comes to patient
care. Technology is huge when it comes to giving the patient the best type of
quality care when they are in the hospital. In the old days people would just
write it down on a sheet of paper and record it by hand, which caused
mistakes. Now with the Electronic Health Record those mistakes are
drastically declining. Statistics have shown that using the Electronic Health
Record has lowered Nursing mistakes as well as improved patient care. Our
society has progressed through the years and has been introduced with the
Electronic Health Record which has drastically improved our health care
system
