We live in a world where the impact of technology is an integral part of our lives. We learn with technology, pay bills, communicate and entertain ourselves. The younger generation is heavily influenced by technology in a manner that changes the way they retain information. Easy access to the internet via computer or smart phones redefines how we learn stuff. I teach “on ground” and many times when I ask a question the student just access the internet to get the answer. I think that the younger generation knows how easy it is to access up-to-date information, thus it kinds of defeat the idea of retaining knowledge through learning. Apart from the smart phones, most of my student comes with an IPAD or TABLET on which they do their class work. In conclusion, in addition to the way we learn, technology impacts “how much” and “what” we learn.
