The Effect of Technology on Education and Individuals

I would like to talk about the huge impact technology has had on education and individuals. But the
ongoing proliferation of technology also prevents the advancement of knowledge and the quality time
spent connecting with loved ones and friends. It's important to look at the drawbacks on young learners
like us more importantly, our capacity to learn skills in human interaction, critical thinking, and
independence.

First, let's talk about social interaction. In this era of technology, before we start our discussion of
social interaction, it's crucial to know that it's the interaction between two or more individuals. It's the
exchange of ideas, feelings, and information through conversation, actions, and expressions. students
are increasingly using online apps and tools instead of personal interactions such as reading and
studying. social media, instant messaging, and virtual classrooms have taken the place of real human
interaction. Though these tools can speed up learning, they interfere with students' capacity to interact
effectively face-to-face. Real interactions develop skills such as empathy, language understanding (even
with translation apps), and emotional intelligence skills essential for personal and professional
achievement. Excessive dependence on technology can result in challenges in situations that need
interpersonal communication in the future. For teenagers, technology addiction to online games and
gadgets changes behavior, resulting in a lack of initiative, poor diet, health issues, and challenges in
parental control.

In addition, technology incrementally replaces analytical thinking and problem-solving ability within
the classroom. Numerous education software programs and website resources provide systematic
solutions and quick fixes, with students being able to circumvent detailed analysis and individual
thinking. Technology enables education and enjoyment while creating dependency upon fast solutions
with disregard for experimenting and testing through problems. Analytical thinking and perseverance are
keys in today's changing world abilities we do not need to lose.

In addition, perpetual use of technology degrades the acquisition of practical life skills. Tablets and
smartphones with their integrated calculators and other capabilities enable students to circumvent
handwritten note-taking. These luxuries, though at times convenient, can result in gaps in basic skills
essential for everyday life. Skills to organize time, manage money, or prepare a basic meal may be
overlooked because of technological shortcuts, which again take away time for bonding with family and
friends.

But technology also has its good side. We are able to rapidly access information and communicate
with family and friends from afar through video calls and messages. Moderation is the key. The aim is
balance utilizing technology to enhance learning while cultivating the development of necessary life
skills.

In summary, even though technology undoubtedly changed education and our lives for the better, we
should remember its possible downfalls. It prevents the practice of vital skills like social interactions,
critical reasoning, and independency, as well as bad effects on health. We must aim for an equilibrium
making use of technology to enhance studies while developing those skills students must have in their
future.
