For instance

use social media to procrastinate while studying for exams. Despite the potential for distraction, I think that
students
benefit significantly from
technology

. The use of
technology
in schools and universities is a positive phenomenon because the
internet
provides an abundance of information for

. Whereas in the past
students
were limited to only the information they could find in a particular library, now they can quickly and easily find information about any topic from any part of the world via the

. As all human knowledge is stored on the

For instance
, a recent

have improved since they linked their resources with thousands of digital libraries from universities across the globe.
