Technology has become an indispensable part of life. It becomes a necessity that people cannot live without. Everyone holds a device such as a laptop, tablet, or cellphone. Nobody can deny that “technology” has become man’s best friend in modern times.

It allows the entire world to communicate more effectively with our loved ones. With those advanced technological tools, technology alleviates the pain of loneliness between two people who live far apart but appear close enough to talk about their lives.

Furthermore, technology improves people’s safety by monitoring and recording their actions via CCTV cameras. This device keeps our belongings safe and secure, no matter where we are. Even other devices, such as cell phones and laptop computers, have a lock system that protects our personal information.

Similarly, technology improves production many times over. Human labor is limited, but machinery multiplies output. The machine’s work is more concise and flawless than people have done for years.

Most importantly, technology improves education. It engages the students to o having time on their devices to explore and learn things through websites, videos, apps, and games which train them to learn at their own pace.

Besides, teachers greatly benefit from the use of technological tools. One of these is their unrestricted access to various resources for innovation and supplementation of instruction.

In addition, the interaction between educators and parents has improved because of technological advancements. Parents can access real-time information about their children’s academic achievement, attendance, and behavior inside the classroom.

Indeed, if technology is used, limitless opportunities will arise.

However, keep in mind that it must be used sensibly.

Remember that technology is created to serve humans, not the other way around.
