These days, technology and education are inevitably connected with each other. Teachers can now easily present what they want to show to the students with the aid of technology. This, in turn, pave way to a more enjoyable approach of learning where they can use their senses to see and hear what is being taught. “Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training and nowadays, through research.” In research, there is one significant factor to which people would always rely on. Needless to say, this factor is the internet which is made possible through technology. Technology in turn gives a lot of effect in education and huge impact in the learning process.
Accurate and efficient information that can be found on the internet are only some of the many advantages that this technology provides us. Technology could also make us learn through visuals made by better graphics being displayed to effectively deliver the information from the web and into our minds. This helps the students in an immense way because information is just one click away from getting their homework done. Without this factor for learning, students would still be searching on libraries for the answers or any researches that they needed. Because of better technology, all they have to do is to surf net, type the keyword and they will find a lot of options from a variety of resources in the net. Because of the better graphics including images, videos and some slide presentations, students would feel more comfortable and more eager to learn. Since technology makes the students want to learn more, it is the perfect medium for them to be more interested on what they do.
From these effects of technology in education, we can therefore conclude that technology is a inevitable way for students to learn in an easier way as they try to widen their knowledge. They no longer need to limit themselves from books and other sources that are seemingly giving limited information. Technology could suffice the deficiency that this limited mediums could give. Because of those reasons, technology could be considered as a necessity for education.
