Is Technology Helping or Hurting us

David Cruz

Ever since the advancements in technology there has been a constant dispute with the older generations and the younger generations concerning whether or not technology is benefiting or hurting the way people learn.  Old people have not been able to keep up with technology and since they can’t keep up they complain that it actually makes life more difficult. They say life was easier the old fashion way .Technology has improved learning ny offering people unlimited access to information at any time they need it, causing people to read and write more, and providing students with hands on learning.

Access to the internet can lead to more effective and more inclusive learning. In a normal classroom, students have access to their teachers a couple times a week for a limited amount of time. This does not give student enough time to get all their questions answered but with the internet people the amount of information is limitless and they can research on their own time. Technology also gives people more of an opportunity to communicate with people that aren’t near them. For example if someone’s family lives in another country they still have the power to communicate with them without having to go months or years without seeing them.
