As we all know technology is evolving everyday and it is something almost impossible to get away from. Technology is used for many things such as social media, pictures, games, movies and television shows and more, all in hopes to entertain ourselves. So how are we suppose to stop getting distracted by all those things when using our technology in school? It's simple. Just follow these steps to succeed!

1. Get rid of the Games
The number one way to stay successful in school while doing technology based assignments is to refrain from having those fun apps that allow us to do whatever we want.

2. Organize You Life
Use your technology to organize your assignments and the due dates. The calendar app is great for due dates and reminders for any upcoming assignments you have. Even just using your notes is beneficial as well.

3. Stay Focused
Only use technology when necessary and allow it to be a search tool for you if need be. A good time to use it is when you have work to do and the internet can assist you if needed. A bad time to use it is when the teacher is talking or you have other things to do.

4. Behave
You will be refrained from having any privileges if you cannot behave and control yourself on the technology. If you google inappropriate things, continue to play games in class, or just disrespect the technology and the learning environment altogether, your technology privileges will be revoked and you will be limited to what you can do.

Today, technology is very important because it is used for almost everything and like everything, technology has advantages and disadvantages

In the world today, people cannot live without technologies such as televisions, mobile phones, computers and others.

These technologies have slowly taken an essential part in people's day-to-day lives and being without them would be unimaginable for some of us.

To understand technology, one must know what it provides in terms of advantages, but also disadvantages.

Advantages of technology

First, the evolution of technology is beneficial to humans for several reasons. At the medical level, technology can help treat more sick people and consequently save many lives and combat very harmful viruses and bacteria.

The invention of the computer was a very important point. Communication is thus enhanced, and companies can communicate more easily with foreign countries. Research is also simplified.

For companies, progress in implementing strategic technology trends is helping them save time and therefore, money. Exchanges are faster especially with the internet. Sales and purchases are now facilitated and possible worldwide. This allows businesses to buy raw materials with discounts or at reduced prices. Similarly, global tourism has grown.

Technology has also increased the productivity of almost every industry in the world. Thanks to technology, we can even pay with bitcoins instead of using banks. The digital coin has been such a game changing factor, that many realised that this is the right time to open a bitcoin demo account.

When observed more closely, new things are discovered every day. Let's take for instance when radio waves were discovered, radio broadcasts followed suit almost immediately. The same applies to the television and electricity. If no one had discovered that electricity could be generated, then the entertainment industry wouldn't be at it's current stage of development.

Technology improves daily lives; allowing to move physical storage units to virtual storage banks and more. Scientists of the time are also able to send astronauts to the moon thanks to technology.

In the modern industrial world, machines carry out most of the agricultural and industrial work and as a result, workers produce much more goods than a century ago and work less. They have more time to exercise and work in safer environments.

Disadvantages and risks of technology

On the other hand, the evolution of modern technology has disadvantages, for example, dependence on new technology. Man no longer needs to think. Even if the calculator is a good invention, man no longer makes mental calculation and no longer works his memory. The decline of human capital implies an increase in unemployment. In some areas, devices can replace the human mind.

The use of technology certainly needs rule and new laws. For example internet use is an individual freedom. However, the invention of the atomic bomb cannot be an individual freedom. In fact, regulations are difficult to implement when these technologies are introduced - such as regulation surrounding the impending arrival of autonomous vehicles.

Finally, as most technological discoveries aim to reduce human effort, it would imply that more work is done by machines. This equates to less work for people: the human is becoming ever so obsolete by the day, as processes become automated and jobs are made redundant.
