Technology as Boon
Technology is a blessing for man. With tec
hnology, there is a lot that we can do whic
h we could not do then.
Technology contributes much to the improv
ement of teaching-learning process and to
the humanization of life.
With cell phones and web cams, you will be closer to
someone miles and miles a way.
Many human lives saved because of speedy
notifications via cell phones.
Your teaching and learning can be more novel,
stimulating, exciting and engaging with the
use of multimedia in the classroom.
With TV, you can watch events as they happen all over
the globe.
Technology as Bane
1. The learner is made to accept as Gospel truth i
nformation they get from the Internet.
2. The learner surfs the internet for pornography
3. The learner has an uncritical mind on images fl

Technology as Bane
4. The TV makes the learner a mere spectator not
an active participant in the drama of life.
5. The learner gets glued to his computer for co

world and so fails to develop the ability to relat

Technology as Bane
6. We make use of the Internet to do character a
ssassination of people whom we hardly like

our time in the classroom or in our workplace t

as a strategy to kill time.
Technology is made for man and n
ot man for technology. Technol
ogy is made for the teacher and
not the teacher for technology.
