Many people think that having a lot of money means someone is successful. However, I don’t agree with this idea. Money, nowadays is important,but is not the only way to see if someone is successful. There are other important things to think about.

It is disagreed that classroom teachers will be totally substituted for technology. Analysing the incapability of disciplining classroom students with technology, as well as the limitation in the learning process of students taught with technology will prove this.
