The introduction of technology into our everyday living has been amazing and very helpful. Looking back a couple of years, we will see that technology has really brought improvement to our everyday life, our businesses and our quality of life.
Here, we will focus majorly on the effect that technology has had on education. Education is one of the major sectors in any country, although it is better esteemed in some countries compared to others, but its importance cannot be overlooked.
Technology and its impact on human life
In this era that the economy and the people in it are just starting to step out of their homes, it is safe to say that there must be something keeping them indoors. If not, how would you explain the survival of people in a lock down of over three months. The truth is, technology played a major role, and this role spans through every aspect of our lives. But as I said earlier, we will be majoring mainly on the educational sector.
Effect of Technology on Education
Generally, technology has had a great effect on the educational sectors. In most countries, a major part of learning was suspended, but due to technology it was picked up again. During this period, a form of research – quantitative research did not die out. In cases where people print out questionnaires and hand it over from person to person, these same people found a way to send them to people via links.
Technology can also be said to have made school easy, or simply say it made learning easy. Before now, technology helped majorly in research, assignments, projects etc. even though there has for many years been the option of online universities, it was for a selected few. Now whole lectures are taking place because of technology. It might have disadvantages, but its role in this particular sector should not be overlooked.
