In the last 10 years, mankind has been witness of how technology has influenced all aspects of
daily life, and as this way the daily life has taken a turn around to this aspect, tasks such as pay a
bill, buy supplies or even study, today it can be done through the virtuality and that is why in this
article we discuss the impact of technology in education and the advantages and disadvantages
that this entails for all people. Since there are many opinions about whether or not it is
convenient for this modality to influence the formation of people, since there are still many who
believe that these modern changes make learning atrophy.

Most people think that everyone has access to technologies and therefore everyone has the same
opportunities to search for information in seconds and to have a variety of options for learning;
but this is far from the reality because there are still millions of people living in conditions of
extreme poverty and who do not
have any technology to support their
learning , and this way continue
using basic methods of education in
this respect it can be seen that there
is an inequality immense in this
aspect and that not all people have
the same conditions of acquiring
knowledge through new technologies. On the other hand, there are those who believe that the
virtuality creates young people lazy to learn as all I have at hand are not very interested in
inquiring about the topics and this makes future professionals that are formed are not at all
competitive, letting more light on the idea that in the future the technologies if outperform
humans in terms of job performance.
At present, the technologies in learning environments are very fundamental and novel, and at this
time we can see different methods of learning which are interesting and novel; there are also
several aspects that have been evolving over time in relation to pedagogical practices and clear
this in order to understand the relationship between teaching and learning. Therefore, addressing
issues as important as why the autonomous operation of virtual learning, which incorporates an
added value, is also how learning influences or how they relate to a good understanding from
virtuality.

With regard to virtuality, for many it influenced in a meaningful way and for others in a
progressive way, which leaves favorable and logically unfavorable statistics; considering the
current situation, many students managed to have a lot of influence in their studies, as did the
teachers who constantly accompanied their virtual classes. That directly influenced these novel
types of learning, where the word autonomous learning is fundamental for these times which
depends 80% of the student and 20% of the tutor, but it should also be noted, many aspects of
humanity have to do with its own evolution. Regardless of the times the influences are
fundamental to understand and have every aspect clear of the new virtual education, where good
learning will always be clear objective.

Finally, it can be inferred that it is impossible to guarantee that all people have the same
opportunities of access to education optima and quality whether it be face-to-face or virtual, as
there is still a lot of inequality in the world and those who have these benefits are forgotten
altogether by those who don't have it this way, people become used to the idea that all should be
held in the same range when it is not so because some find it harder than others to access the
information. One possible solution would be for education to be based on true learning so that it
is demonstrated by students through various methods, so that it is evident who really is interested
in acquiring knowledge and who really uses the tools at their disposal in a positive way.
