Technology refers to the collection of tools that make it easier to use, manage and create things to exchange and give information. Nowadays, technology is an integral part of our lives. It is so powerful that it can shape the way we think and changes our lives within no time. As things stand today, technology is improving virtually everyday at an unbelievable speed. It is reflected in the phenomenal expansion in the field of social networking and as you go along with your everyday lives you'll see at your right,left,back and front a person or it can be a two year old kid using a gadget.

Humanity can not create several devices such as laptops, cellphones,computers,etc. with different versions which can help us finish loads of works with ease without technology with which gifted mankind with very important aspects like the facility of communication- the creation of phones, fax, telephones,etc are few of the facilities that the human mind has been able to create.

Technology also helped us to talk to others easier, send a e-mail,etc. It also play an important role in the field of education since it can improve the educational skills and knowledge of students. It also promotes independent learning since it is easier to access information most especially when needed in researches,thesis or homeworks and it also promotes exciting way to educate students.

One of the greatest advantage offered by technologies through internet is the saving of using papers.Now, one doesn't need to buy pad papers but rather internat does it all-for free.

But as Albert Einstein had said "I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots".- There is a flipside of everything. For almost all users, these gadgets have become an addiction. People cannot live without their phones beside them even at night they make sure that their cellphones are beside them before sleeping. Did you know that those who remain sured to gadget invite obesity and related problems dangering the vision?

These devices also affect the field of education, nowadays, schools have started using tablets or ipads for taking down notes, writing texts or answering tests. Technology gets their minds and forget the use of books and notebooks. Students depend on gadgets that evem when it crashes they will also be disabled and do not have the capacity to work on their own again. At the same time, human workers retain less value since machines are introduced the work of 10 people can be done by one computer instantly, companies find they don't need to employ people since machines are more efficient.

To conclude everything, we know that technology has a lot of advantages for us people but everything has it's own flipside so how do you describe technology as boon or bane?
