Throughout the years since probably during the cavemen times, technology has helped human beings greatly in carrying out tasks, discovering science and ways to improve our lifestyles. Technology has almost always made work easier for us.

Today, as a student, technology is important for our education as there are many websites online that we can use for resources and references. Besides education purposes, technology can also provide us with entertainment with applications like iTunes or Windows Media Player. Technology can serve as a platform for communication for socializing purposes as well, with the use of MSN Messenger that is frequently used in school. It can also be used for file sharing which is useful for the learning system in RP where students learn together from one another.

As a student in RP, I feel like this is the future where everyone uses computers. On top of that, the whole school has access to wireless network that allows us to have access to the internet wherever we go around the school campus. Hence, Technology provides convenience to not only us students, but to everyone else.

Everything seems so advanced to me and hardly any paper is being used in class, which seems quite environmentally friendly to me. Only once in a blue moon do we use mahjong papers for class work or presentation. In fact, it seems to me that technology can actually be used to reduce the harm being done to this earth.

I think it’s quite good that we are making use of technology to assist us in our learning. At the same time, we learn something about the technologies that we use. This way, we will be more IT savvy and that will be very helpful to us when we enter the working world in the future. Being IT savvy is very important because almost all jobs require you to use a computer.
