Technology in education plays an important role in improving the educational skills and knowledge of the people. This is very important especially those who need improve their knowledge in order for them to achieve a successful life in the future. Technology in education is manifested through the use of computers. This is also a great help for teachers since they can already enhance their teaching skills and strategies every time they are facing their class. Hence, technology is very essential for both the students and the teachers since it:

1) Promotes Independent Learning for the Students: Students can already learn from their own even without the assistance of their parents and teachers. They are just going to surf the internet in order to look for the lessons they need to study. Quick accessibility and well-equipped with the skills and knowledge in operating a computer would be very helpful for the students.

2) Easier Access To Information: The need for heavy books to be brought back and forth from school and home is no longer needed with technology. The books can stay in the classroom because the information that they need is easily accessed on a computer.

3) Promotes Exciting Way to Educate Students: Since there are lots of images, videos and other graphics and text that may be found in your computer, more students would feel the excitement in studying through the use of the gadget. This is very important in order to arouse their interest in studying.

I believe technology is a hindrance in the instructional process. I feel as though we accept the speed and accuracy of the computer systems as an integral part of life which is to say human beings are creatures of habit and as we become comfortable with the precision of electronic devices we began expecting similar behavior out of one another.

Technology hasn't brought us closer together but rather further apart. It has been study that students sitting side-by-side in the classroom would rather type on the computer to the person is sitting next to rather then engaging in verbal conversation with that same person. Sadly we begin believing that technology is infallible in the forms of never making mistakes and thus we begin trusting the technology without question. With the blind faith we placed in technology how long before technology sits in court rooms as judges of mankind?
