too much dependence on technology is not good

Monitoring technology at times is important

Everybody speaks so good about technology. Our life has been so much interwined with technology. Technology has entered into our life so intimately that we depend entirely on technology. So, I feel that too much dependence on technology is not good.
In the school education, the children do not spend much time actually learning what the teachers are teaching laboriously. WHy? Because, they can get everything from the internet when they reach home. Just before the examination, the children browse the net and get ready for the test. They also share their assignments online. They also seek the help of online tutors and they do not learn seriously.
In the name of education, the children also use these electronic gadgets in other ways. The meaning of hardwork has been wiped out by technology. For example if the child wants to know the meaning of some difficult world, they just google it. In fact there is very little interaction with the teacher now a days as the children depend tooo much on the computer. The concept of teacher student relation has totally changed. So, is this a really good change?
Well, so technology is very good and helpful but at the same time we should watch how the technology is used. If it is becoming a problem better be selective in using technology. We are the masters of the technology and not the slaves of technology.

Ipod, I pad and Mp4,3 devices' usage

Ipad from where we can read books comfortably

The teaching style has changed a lot even in few years. When I was in school, technology was there but we were not very friendly with the technology. I remember there were lectures by the teacher and if someone missed one class of teacher's lecture, there is no way the teacher can produce the same lecture once more.
Today, in this year of Ipods, Mp3 and Mp4s, the teachers can send his or her lecture in these gadgets and the students can listen to the lecture whether in bus, or cafe or home.
Just for example: even in my educatioinal technology, no matter whether the professor was there personally or not, we never miss lectures because lectures were already posted in elearning. The lectures can be downloaded and listened to many times till you understand everything said in the lecture.
Now with the Ipad or what we call notebook, there is no need to carry thick novels in our hand. We can download the whole series of thick novels in Ipad and read comfortably.
So, these are some of the ways technology help in the field of school education. There are other stories of how technology has helped other fields of education.
