What impact do you think technology will have on education in the future?
In the present scenario, the use of technology has been enhanced in the field of education.
Technology has been enhancing the process of learning of the students. This has also favored the
process of teaching as there are various innovative educational projects that have been created
based on the study that brings improvisation in the learning process of students. One of the
positive impacts of technology can be related to improved communication. Technology can
modify the classroom into the network that can boost the chance for the teachers to post the
assignments progressively and also in solving the queries of the students can be easy for
teachers. Students face the challenge of asking their queries from their teacher but in the future,
the use of technology can resolve the challenge (Drago, 2015).
The next positive impact can relate to the advanced research, quick information and
eBooks. It has been noted that cloud storage and smart search engines can make the process of
research easy. The students have to flip through the heaps of books to search a specific reference
but in the future, the information can be easily available on different websites. The time taken to
research the source can be reduced as now it is easy to access the different sources and also
students can easily consolidate the information and knowledge for their assignments. The overall
results can be improved by allowing the students to access the different sources easily(Biesta,
2017).
But on the other hand, it has also been seen that there will be negative impacts of the
technology on education in the future. One of the negative impacts will be related to incorrect
information. With the development in the technology, the owners of the website urge to rank
their websites on the top level in the search engines. So, they emphasize on rankings instead of
the content that is posted on the websites. There are many websites that have wrong information
which is copied or pasted from the different sources with checking its accuracy. Thus, it can be
said that with the advancement in the technology the negative impact can be on the learner as
they can be misguided by the incorrect information available on the sites (Ballantine, Hammack
& Stuber, 2017).
It has also been analyzed that the negative impact can be on the learners who can be
disconnected from the real world. It is examined that educators can focus on online education
