Technology: Boon or Bane?
Lesson 2.
“Technology
is in our hands. We can use it to build or to destroy”.
Technology
is a gift for man that makes life more convenient and easy. Technology can
bring things that are impossible to happen. It can make you closer to someone
that is a million miles away; it can bring information and messages in just a
minute. It also helps make teaching and learning process more meaningful, stimulating,
exciting and engaging by using and integrating multimedia resources in the
classroom.
However, when you are an abusive user of technology it can damage the
teaching and learning process as well as the development. It can destroy
relationships. The abuse and misuse of technology and internet will have far
reaching unfavorable effects on moral, social and emotional aspect.
Technology has a big help in improving teaching and learning process and
to the humanization of life. It is indeed a gift and a blessing if it is being
used properly but it becomes a detriment to instruction, human progress and
development.
“Technology is made for man and not man
for technology. Technology is made for the teacher and not the teacher for
technology.”
We should not let technology rule over our lives, technology is meant to
serve man in all aspects of life including instruction. Technology should be
manipulated by man and not the technology to manipulate man.
It is on your hands on how you use the technology. Are you going to use
it as boon or bane? Better be at the right thing.
