negative aspects of I.T.
Information technology (IT) refers to computing technologies like networking, hardware, software, the internet, and people who work with these technologies. While IT has automated and increased the effectiveness of business functions, it has also led to some negative impacts:
IT can reduce the number of jobs as a few people can do the work of many, increasing unemployment. It also raises privacy issues as personal information can become publicly available, and lack of job security as skills must constantly be updated. Implementation of new technologies is also very expensive for industries.

School Of 2020 (Willy)
Technology plays an important role in modern education by providing various resources for learning. It allows unlimited research materials through the internet in many formats. Smart boards make teaching more interactive and visual. Office software and wikis enable efficient assignment work and data sharing. While technology offers benefits, there are also privacy and security issues to consider with its use in schools. As the world increasingly uses electronic tools, schools must implement technology to help students learn and adapt skills for the future. Emerging technologies like video conferencing, virtual worlds, PDAs, and multi-touch screens may further enhance the educational experience, but also have challenges to address.
