Technology Simplifies Modern Life
The relevance of technology cannot be overstated. Indeed, unlike two or three decades ago, technology has today become intertwined with our lives. It is difficult to imagine of how life would be without technology. In this text, I explore how technology simplifies modern life.
How Technology Simplifies Modern Life
How would life be without technology? Although many are the times we take technology for granted, it is highly unlikely that life would continue being the same without technology (as we know it).

This is more so the case given that unlike before, better and more advanced flight handling devices continue to make airport operations more efficient. For this reason, business people no longer have to contend with the traditional geographical barriers that acted as a hindrance to business a few decades ago.
Technology has also made things much easier in the education sector. In the words of Hope and Guiton (2006), "open and distance learning bodies have been able to take advantage of technology to achieve better reach, educational quality or cost-effectiveness." Today, thanks to technology, it has become possible to study without attending the traditional brick and mortal classroom. In addition to taking online classed, people can now sit for online exams and even interact with their peers and instructors as long as they have internet connection. Various advancements like teleconferencing have also made it possible for students from across the world to interact with their instructors in a virtual environment. Learning has never been easier.

' This trend towards smallness is not necessarily irreversible. Once upon a time, technology enabled things to get 'bigger.' The Industrial Revolution drove the creation of the major urban industrial complexes of the world. Public transportation like railroads was a way to move people faster than horses and buggies. Even the recent infatuation with SUVs could be seen as part of the age-old trend of 'bigger as better.' "Mary Czerwinski, a

Technology Learning Environ New technology has become an integral part of the learning environment, and not just an adjunct to it. This article demonstrates the limitations of using technology in the educational profession. First, technology depends on human input and guidance in order to be properly and relevantly developed. Second, technology must be fully integrated with the learning environment; it can't and shouldn't float on top of it. Rather, technology needs
