Advantage Of Technology In Education

In our current lifestyle, advancement in technology has greatly affected the way we live our life that many people are even unaware of.

It has touches our daily living in many areas. The way our educations are taught, how we communicated with each other, how healthcare services are conducted, how agriculture in the past are practice and now and even in our country’s economy growth are affected by technology.

It is easy to see how public clinics, doctor offices, and even research facilities can take advantage of social media tools to reach wider populations. And there is evidence that they are going above and beyond. (Krueger, 2010) This means that it is also so much easier for clinics and doctors to reach their patients. Hospitals are using social media to contact their patients, answer questions and even launch campaigns. Advanced healthcare even uses social media to set up reminders to remind patients of their check up and appointments.

This means that when technology created new jobs like mechanics, programmers, machine operators and other relevant professionals, at the same time people with no special skills lose their jobs, and jobs are also lost when machines replace human. Like when machines take over routine tasks in factories, it will cause salaried employees to lose their
