Technology is a prominent part of today's society. As well as disadvantages, there are also many advantages of using hi-tech products in education. There are many great learning tools on the internet, which engage children more and sometimes work better than the now old-fashioned whiteboard. Many games encourage critical thinking and problem solving, stimulating kids' minds. Video games can help coordination and also encourage taking turns. Scientists have proven that kids that play games actually have better eye-sight and reaction times.

Children of the past were very mobile and would play outside all day. Nowadays, children greatly rely on technology for the majority of their play, limiting their imaginations and also their mobility. Technology greatly stimulates childrens' senses, but not their optimal sensory and motor development. Children are becoming more and more sedentary, and teachers are finding that they struggle with self-regulation and attention skills, which can become significant behaviour management problems.

Computers have replaced chalkboards as the go-to tool in classrooms today. And it's not just happening in higher education; technology is part of education for children of all ages.

Technology is a fast developing necessity in the history of our world. Technology has shaped generations and marks some of the most significant progress the human population has made. As a developing planet, we rely on technology a lot, but it gives us better lives.

It is questionable as to whether technology makes us smarter, but we believe that technology gives us a wide range of knowledge and the ability to research more things and find out more information. Technology gives us the opportunity to learn at all ages. However, too much access to technology can cause us to rely on technology for all knowledge, which can be a bad thing. As long as we find a balance between finding knowledge and remembering the information.
