Technology is the future
Technology is everywhere. We can see it from our morning Night till we sleep. In this world the development of our technological world have become the new normal. According to The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), almost 50% of the world’s population uses the internet, leading to over 3.5 billion daily searches on Google and more than 570 new websites being launched each minute. Over 90% of the world’s data has been created in just the last couple of years.
With data growing faster than ever before, the future of technology is even more interesting than what is happening now. We’re just at the beginning of a revolution that will touch every business and every life on this planet. By 2020, at least a third of all data will pass through the cloud, and within five years, there will be over 50 billion smart connected devices in the world.
There is no doubt that we are experiencing a tremendous development in technology. This technology has had a negative or positive impact on our life. As a result, it has influenced the way we live and we rely heavily on it. Humans continue to evolve continuously.
Technology will not stop at a single threshold, but we still hear daily discoveries and inventions by scientists. Technology has spread all over the world and people use it all the time.
It is no longer limited to work and in developed societies, but any person, regardless of his or her cultural or social level, or whatever his age, can use a cell phone, for example, to take pictures, send and receive them.
Technology helps us to keep in touch with people who are away from us. We use phones and computers to talk to them and even see them.
Our daily work office is also technology-based. People no longer use pen and paper to complete their work. We keep our health by going to the gyms.
There are machines in the gym that help us reduce our weight and keep fit. We get to keep a lot of information in a small device and use it when we like. Cars have also become better with the use of technology.
Technology can not be appropriate in some tasks and has negative influences. Everyone determines and decides how to use this technology in a negative or positive way.
The same technology can be used by two people in a different way.

Benefits of Technology in the Classroom
Benefits of Technology in the Classroom
We already know that it’s possible to become addicted to our phones, no matter our age. We know the harmful effects of social media and cyberbullying. With the amount of technology around us, concern about the use of it in the classroom is only natural. The trepidation is also greater for adults who did not see the rise of computers and phones in schools. Those that learned solely from lecture and textbook may have difficulty accepting tech in the classroom. We often hold onto what worked in the past, without considering the future.
The argument is this: in the past, there was no other option. Then, we did not understand different styles of learning as well as we do today. In the past, we couldn’t see the future. But here it is. Today, technology is increasingly used for educational purposes. With balance, there are several benefits to using technology in the classroom:
Gamifying lessons – Static lessons are less likely to engage students. Using games, especially for younger students, helps to keep them engaged.
Self-directed learning – Students are now learning at their own speed. If they need to study one subject longer, they can. If they’re ready to move on, they’re able to.
Collaboration – Both teachers and students can work with others around the world.
Differentiated instruction – Not every student can learn from lectures or reading. Some concepts are difficult to grasp without interaction. Technology allows students to learn in a variety of ways and find what best suits their needs.
Distance learning – Recent events have led to the need for technology to supplement virtual instruction in the absence of in-person, in-school learning.
The future of technology in the classroom isn’t easy to envision. But today, it is about increasing learning potential. It’s about preparing students for their technological future. Creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and creative thinking are all necessary skills for the future. Technology is just one part of that equation.
