“Nothing to Fear”

God granted the human mind the ability to perceive a better

way of doing things, allowing people to come up with inventions
today just as they were able to do 100 years ago. They realize
that there must be a better way of doing things and then
develop it.
One of such inventions is the invention of technology. We
live in an era where several manual tasks can be automated,
many complex and critical processes can be carried out with
ease and greater efficiency with the help of modern technology.
Thanks to the application of technology, living has changed and
it has changed for the better. Technology can be confusing and
frustrating, but it can also facilitate communication, encourage
curiosity and learning, aid in safety and security, provide
assistance, and simply be fun. It's all in how you use it. Back
then, when technology was invented, its sole purpose was to
improve people's lives. Some of us who have seen a world
without technology may be able to point out its disadvantages,
but its advantages are equally commendable. Let's look at the
bright side of technology.
With the help of technology, we are not only connected with
each other, but also with the impossible. In our early days when
technology was still in its infancy, we all must have faced
problems like finding the route and unable to contact someone
in need of time. Today, we have online maps and directions to
help us navigate when we get lost, as well as several ways of
communicating with people whenever we want. It is possible for
grandparents to keep tabs on their grandchildren via video chat
services, such as Skype, regardless of how far they may be
living from them.
It is a privilege to have lived through both eras - with and
without technology. The majority of those who have lived both
the eras realize the importance of modern technology and
understand its critical place in the development of an advanced,
safe, and innovative society. With its advancement, we are
assured of living a relaxed life in the future and witnessing
many attainments in education, communication, and security.
It's not easy to adjust to change.
Technology isn't just for youth, instead it holds promise for
all generations. Seniors citizens sometimes feel hesitant about
using technology, but they can benefit greatly from it. The
technological change is difficult for most of them to adapt to
due to fear of using it improperly as they lack information about
how to use it and make the most of it. Others believe it is
unnecessary. The older generation prefer to age in place, in the
comfort of their homes and communities. Technology can
assist them in remaining independent, active, and healthy as it
makes possible for them to overcome their social and
emotional isolation. A wide variety of technology facilitates
existing social activities with friends and enhances convenience
for many aspects of daily life, including finding information.
Additionally, humans have done their best to make technology
useful and convenient to every age group by providing readily
accessible features. The technology of today helps make health
care more convenient. For instance, seniors can get audible
reminders on their cell phones to take their pills. Furthermore,
the newly launched mobile phones also provide convenience to
the disabled, who can now enjoy the benefits of technology.
Whether we like it or not, technology has the purpose of making
our lives easier and solving a lot of mankind's problems. When
technology advances and makes our lives even more
convenient, we must emphasize just how largely it improves
our lives.

Now coming to the contribution of technology to education,

I think it is similar to the contribution of colours to an artwork.
Colours enhance and improve artwork and bring it to life. In the
same way, technology enhances and improves learning
theories and techniques. Or, to put it differently, I strongly
believe that technology is not only contributing to education, but
has transformed it completely.Nowadays, there are plenty of
forms of technology we rely upon and find extremely
convenient. For example:
 Digital readers and tablets
 Artificial intelligence
 Mobile technology
 Smart classes , and a lot more

Also, the importance of technology in schools cannot be

ignored. In fact, with the onset of computers in education, it has
become easier for teachers to impart knowledge and for
students to acquire it. The use of technology has made the
process of teaching and learning all the more enjoyable.
And today, schools and colleges are running with the
new tag of ‘online classes’, which is the best example of
contribution of technology.This technology made it possible for
me to continue my education during the pandemic the past two
years. I was dependent on it in all ways.It has certainly
changed the way we live. As we know that people nowadays,
mainly students, are no longer able to perform basic tasks
without its help. The contribution of technology has gone out of
control. Most of our adults really fear what will happen to their
children in the future! Because nowadays even a newly born
child gets used to a mobile phone. On the other hand, there are
several educational and learning applications that I do not
believe it harms if our children make the most of technology in
order to learn something that will benefit them. It is therefore in
safe hands and there is nothing to fear in this scenario.
Undoubtedly, technology plays an important role in every
sphere of our life. Thus, neglecting to utilize the latest
technology would waste a valuable resource.In the end, let's
ask ourselves, "What if this technology wasn't around
anymore?” In an absence of technology, life would be very
stressful, and we would face many problems we do not face
today. Having no social media, no devices, and many other
things that are changing how we live could be beneficial to us,
but it wouldn't be better to not have technology at all today.
