Technology is being used more and more in education. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

#technology #education
Technology has been considered an asset and an innovative tool in education. It gives new platforms for students to learn
information
 in an innovative way where they can see and listen to
information
 rather than traditional classroom teachings. It has
also
 provided wide learning opportunities like online learning platforms. In the olden
days
, people use to learn using books and taught in classrooms by teachers.
Whereas
, in the current
days
 there are different platforms of learning, like online classes, smart classes and recorded classrooms. These give options to choose from based on the student's availability and have made education much easier.
For example
, recorded classes are helpful for students to attend sessions based on their availability and free time. So a student doing part-time work can spend his free time on studies without missing any lectures.
However
, there are
also
 some disadvantages to the innovation of technology. Children these
days
 just rely on the Internet for completing their assignments and spent less time in the library enhancing their knowledge. The usage of online mathematical tools and calculators has
also
 affected one's capacity to do calculations in mind and remember
information
.
For instance
, universities these
days
 have to make compulsory plagiarism checking as students just copy
information
 from internet resources.
Overall
, technology is useful as it has made studying more convenient at the fingertips ,
meanwhile

 it has
also
 affected the human capacity of remembering
information
 and interests in books.
