Technology can be both a boon and bane depending on how it is used. When used properly, technology provides benefits like enabling communication across distances, disseminating information, making life more convenient, and enhancing education. However, technology can also be detrimental if misused, such as by eroding relationships, distracting from studies, and causing addiction. In education specifically, technology becomes a bane if it encourages uncritical thinking, passive learning, isolation from others, online harassment, or overuse of devices at the expense of active participation.

With technology there is a lot that we can
do which we could not do then.
Technology also can give us
information, makes our life more easier
and can met our needs in our daily living.
Technology contributes much to the
improvement of the teaching-learning
process and to the humanization of life.

will be closer to someone miles and
miles away.
Many human lives saved because
of speedy notifications via cell phones.
Your teaching and learning can be
more novel, simulating, exciting,
engaging with the use of multimedia in
the classroom.

technology becomes a detriment
to learning and development.

9. IN EDUCATION, TECHNOLOGY IS
BANE WHEN:
The learner is made to accept as Gospel
truth information they get from the Internet.
The Learner surfs the Internet for
pornography.
The learner has a uncritical mind on
images floating on televisions and computers
that represent modernity and progress.

10. The TV makes the learner a mere
spectator not an active participant in the
drama of life.
The learner gets glued to his
computer for computer assisted
instruction unmindful of the world and so
fails to develop the ability to relate to
others.
We make us of the Internet to do
character assassination of people whom
we hardly like.

11. Because of our cell phone,
we spend most of the time in the
classroom or in work place
texting.
We overuse and abuse TV or
film viewing as a strategy to kill
time.
