LB# 2 Boon or Bane

Technology is the blessing for man. With technology, there is a lot that we can do which we could not do then. With cellphones, web cam, and internet,we will be closer to someone miles and miles away.
If the technology were not used properly it becomes a detriment to learning and development. It can destroy relationships. The abuse and misuse of the internet will have far reaching unfavorable effects on his moral life.
In education technology is bane when:
* the learner is made to accept as Gospel truth information they get from the internet.
* the learner surfs the Internet for pornography
* the learner has an uncritical mind on images floating on televisions and computer that represent
modernity and progress
* the TV makes the learner a mere spectator non an active in the drama of life
* the learner gets glued to his computer-assisted instruction unmindful of the world
