Technology is defined as the branch of knowledge dealing with engineering or applied sciences. Machinery and equipment developed from the application of scientific knowledge and became a must need thing in someone’s life. Basically, we need technology to make our life better as the usage of technology could save our time and facilitate our work. As the years goes by, lots of things evolved around human, thus making a huge difference between the archaic era and the modern era.

For example, while video games may condition the brain to pay attention to multiple stimuli, they can lead to distraction and decreased memory. Children who always use search engines may become very good at finding information but not very good at remembering it. In addition, children who use too much technology may not have enough opportunities to use their imagination or to read and think deeply about the material. In short, technology makes our lives easier. Today’s students have tremendous opportunities to learn and to connect by using it. But with each advantage comes a potential cost. When we understand those costs and can minimize them, we can keep the use of technology
