Information Technology has become very developed over the years making our lives more comfortable and convenient. Information Technology has both negative and positive effects when it comes to our daily lives. Here are some of the effects of implementing Information Technology in daily living.
One of the most important contributions of Information Technology in our lives is its impact in the medical technology field. Medical personnel are now able to research about different topics which will enable them to discover cures to different ailments.
When it comes to communication, information technology has enabled us to establish communication with our loved ones anytime anywhere with just a click of a mouse or just a press of a button. Information technology has changed the way we send and receive message to everyone, making it more convenient, fast, and reliable as compared to the way we send messages before through snail mails and telegraphs.
Information technology also helped students to further their knowledge especially with the aid of internet. There are other students who earn their diploma while they are at home through what we call e-learning and in e-learning, the students study and discuss with a professor over the internet instead of the typical room setting. In other words, they can study anywhere there is computer which has internet access.
But along with these advantages come a lot of disadvantages and one of which is the bad effect of internet especially to younger generations. Young people, especially teenagers, are being more dependent with Information Technology that they no longer seek other options when it comes to their research works. When they are doing their assignments, a lot of students are just copying and pasting articles off the web and submitting them to their teachers.
