The technology has importance for progress and development of young people, in this paper will first the define information and communication that related to technologies age. It is generally agreed today that using computer such as web technology ,video cams, cell phone and Bluetooth are necessary for saving time and energy. Moreover, technology provides safety to save data and help to connect distance with the other. There for using computer has advantages and disadvantages and it depends on the computer user (Prensky,2005b,p.8). Secondly, this essay will expose information and communication technologies (ICTs) which are important in the education process of young people today and how this could be seen as beneficial. In particular, the focus will be on the effective web technology in education process.
Firstly, Information technology includes both the hardware and software that are used to save and retrieve data on the Internet. In other words, database is used in almost anything to save the information. For example is the usage of mobile phone to save the names a...
The influence of the computer technology is mainly manifested on the internet in daily lives. In the 20th century, mass media went through network improvements around the world. Information technology, digital and networked information communication has brought human free, convenience and interaction. The wide application of information technology improves the working efficiency. It not only helps individuals to get relaxed, but also extend the circle of friends; however, this can be problematic for some individuals as well. Improvement in computer technology may lead to over dependence on the computer, social deficit and changes of communication.
Since the time we have adopted internet and other media into our daily lives, there are so many debates and commentaries on the impacts of these new media on the social relations and activities of the young generations. There have been countless controversies whether the advancement in technology is proving to be a boon or bane for the society, especially for the young generations. In the past, the rapid growth of Television has also aroused so many questions, as well as discussions relating to the social and cultural effects. After a long research, different viewpoints of people from different parts of the world were collected out of which some were against the advancement of technologies and some were supporting the fact that technology is becoming the backbone of each and every work in our daily lives.(Mesch 2009)
Information technology (IT) is the application of computers to store, study, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data, or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered a subset of information and communication technology(ICT). Current IT in use at most of the cooperative banking industry
Technology forms the most vital element of life in the world today. Every aspect of our lives is dominated by technology and its importance in our lives is indispensable. One of the outstanding facts about technology use in schools is its controversial nature. There is no common agreement by stakeholders in technology and educations sectors about the use of technology in schools. There are two different factions, one supporting use of technology as a positive aspect, while the other faction disagrees, citing the detrimental effects of technology in students. However, the use of technology in classrooms catering for children continues to increase, as education develops more interesting ways of enhan...
This age is dedicated to more of learning age. It is said that even the teachers are the learner. This is the age of knowledge gradually shifted towards the age of communication. Thought and ideas are playing a crucial role in the present 21st century. The period when the denial and ignorance was the answer to the learner’s inquisitiveness has no solution. The answer to these questions is the technology which has solved problem to very much extend. People call such kind of change where teachers are supported with the technological tools to prove their worth. It does not say that previous centuries teachers were not efficient or they do not have that kind of knowledge. In the present time, the knowledge has got the support of the technology to explore. The learners are satisfying their requirements to the larger extend. The technological tool such as internet has shown great difference. The use of videos and photographs, 3D picture support, animations and documentaries and use of computers especially has changed the whole scenario. The most advanced version we have seen are the mobiles and the various applications which are loaded in mobile has taken the world in strong fist. The laptops are converting into the interactive machines which are loaded with n number of facilitation.
Information technology is the application of computers and telecommunication equipment to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data. This includes distributing and manufacturing information. This use of technology can be applied in the workforce, the educational system, and social life. Centuries ago, people did not have the means of technology that we have now. Alexander Graham Bell received the patent for his invention of the telephone in 1876. The first fully functioning computer was developed from 1936- 1938 by Konrad Zuse in his parent’s living room. The Internet has been developing since the 1950’s. Things are still being added to the Internet, the databases are surging with information. We live in a world where we are surrounded
Technology, as we all know, is helping and improving many disciplines of life. Technology, in Britannica Encyclopedia, is defined as the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life. (Britannica, 2009)
Today’s technology has developed far from 10 years ago. The most obvious is in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The invention of smartphones and tablet PC are some of the evidences which show how far this field has developed. Somehow, a smartphone without Internet is like a song without melody.Gray (1999) as cited by Usun (2003) referred the Internet as “a network of hundreds of thousands of computers all over the world, connected in a way that lets other computers access information from them” (pp.2).This aged old network that connected the computers at the time it appeared in the life of human, is now playing bigger role to this modern day life as the users are always increasing everyday. A part of the users are young adults aged 18 to 24 years old, who some of them enter college to further their studies. So the research question is to know to what extent this network could influence the college students’ lives.Such research questions arose as many students claim that internet really helps them in their studies. Plus, the existence of modern gadgets nowadays make it easier for the students to get information just by clicking and scrolling. So, instead of going to the library, these students can get all the information they want instantly. On the other hand, with the Internet, it comes together what we called as social network. Nowadays, we heard a lot on social network addiction’s issues. One of them is that people stop communicating face-to-face with the presence of social networks. So, this research is conducted to see how far these claims are real.
Technology is a key element in the world today. It plays an important role in almost everything. Education is no exception to this; technology has been present in education for many years now. The purpose of this paper is to discuss why education is better with the addition of technology. More importantly, I am talking about this so that my audience will become more aware of how technology supports what is being done in education.
ICT have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally transformed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of exertion within business and governance. Education is a very socially focused activity and quality education has traditionally been connected with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with learners. The use of ICT in education lends itself to more student-centred learning settings. But with the world moving swiftly into digital media and information, the role of ICT in education is becoming more and more essential and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century.
The influence of the electronic devices, multimedia and computers are the things that dealt with our daily life. Especially the internet that is now giving more importance to each and every one, by giving the newest outstanding media that surely will give the outmost future ahead of us. (Temmel)
Technology has had a large impact on the field of education. The proliferation of multimedia resources and limitless amounts of information available through the Internet has fundamentally affected the learning process. Students no longer search through cards and stacks for magazine articles; almost everything is at the click of a finger. Multimedia resources are increasingly utilized in the classroom to help instruct students. Some professors are making conscious efforts to use new technology, so as to introduce and familiarize their students with it. The significance of technology in education is now being elevated to a new plateau. Education through the Internet, the great equalizer, may make it more widely distributed through the phenomenon of online courses. It is the thesis of this paper that online courses are not an effective means to educate traditional undergraduate college aged students (people from 18-22 years old).
Modern technology has made it so much easier to obtain educational information for classroom or homework assignments. It offers educational games that stimulate the brain and help children who have difficulties focusing on traditional teaching and learning procedures. College students are even taking advantage of online courses that many colleges are offering as an alternative to physically attending classes. Advances in technology and computers will continue to play an important role in education for many generations to come.
In this study, technology is defined as the science of communication and learning that develop by the technology. As with every technology, however, understanding the skills of the main users and their attitudes toward the new tool is of fundamental importance, in order to guide development of appropriate educational
Over the years it has been seen that education has taken up several forms. With the advent of technology, education has also been integrated with technology. Previously it was seen that education was achieved through written forms of paper with pen or pencil. The use of pen and pencil can be dated back to the Roman Empire. However, with the developing pace the traditional means of attaining education are changing. The introduction of information technology has brought forth a new way of learning through the internet. E-learning is the new form of education introduced by IT which helps people to attain knowledge through the use of their computers. A portal is introduced by the use of information technology which the students are able to access and to take tests. However, this new technology also brings with it other ethical issues of plagiarism and social contact. Online education is an inadequate alternative for traditional, classroom-based teaching for several reasons: there is no interactive communication between the student and the instructor, potential employers do not value online course work, class offerings are limited, instructor feedback to the student might be delayed for days, and group projects are nonexistent.
