THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

In today’s generation, technology has affected and changed

the way people live. Technology has made people’s lives more

proficient and at ease. There is hardly anyone who has not been

changed by the advances in technology and computers of today’s

society. In today’s civilization, transportation, communication,

and education have been greatly developed from new technological

advancements. Many people have lesser stress in their lives

because there are new useful hi-tech inventions created each day

to help them do things quicker and easier. Some of these helpful

technologies are cellphones, computers, and the internet.

Technology also has negative effects in the lives of the

users, and in his/her or her immediate friends and family

members. It affects the individual’s personal health, family,

social, financial, and academic life. Over using gadgets

negatively affects the mind of an individual. The individual

loses focus as he/she only concentrates on using gadgets or

technology. He/she tends to forget other aspects of life that is

important, concentration reduces and the individual cannot focus

on other issues for long enough.

The use of technology in schools has opened up a new path of

effective learning. Technology plays a great role in developing

everyone’s future and professional career. Technology is becoming

a major part of the world today. It has developed and become more

central to learning.

At Saint Williams Academy, before going to start their

classes, teachers and class officers in every room will b going

to collect every students cellphone in order for them to

concentrate in learning and in doing their different activities.

Even though teachers and class officers are doing their best in

collecting students cellphones, there are some students who are

not passing their cellphones, they are going to hide it. Some of

them will be going to used their cellphones during lunch break

and class hours even though teachers in front to play some online

games or scrolling facebook which caused them not to learn. There

are some cellphones that are captured by teachers that caused the

students to be suspended.
