 INTRODUCTION
The era of 21st century is often
regarded as an era of
technology. Technology, today,
plays a very important role in
our life. It is seen as a basis of
growth of an economy. An
economy which is poor in
technology can never grow in
today’s scenario. This is
because technology makes our
work much easier and less time
consuming. The impact of
technology can be felt in every
possible field ; one such field is
Education.

 PROJECT REPORT ON
IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
A virtual survey was administered by me
to understand the impacts of technology
on students, education and other
different aspects of the society. The data
was collected via an online survey on 20 th
June 2022. The questionairre frame was
very simple: the people were asked about
the impact of technology in their daily
life.

In this report, I have endeavored to

provide valuable insights into the
different forms of problems and benefits
faced by the society due to the advance-
ment in technology.
EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY
ON EDUCATION
The role of technology in the field of
education is fourfold: it is included as a
part of the curriculum, as an instructional
delivery system, as a means of aiding
instructions and also as a tool to enhance
the entire learning process. Thanks to
technology; education has gone from
passive and reactive to interactive and
aggressive.

Education is essential in corporate and

academic settings. In the former,
education or training is used to help
workers do things differently than they did
before. In the latter; education is geared
towards creating curiosity in the minds of
students. In either case, the use of
technology can help students understand
and retain concepts better.
Advantages of Technology in Education:
It makes students more excited to learn.

Help students with busy schedules, freedom

to work at home on their own time.

Train students to learn new technology skills

they can use later in the work place.

Decrease paper and photocopying costs,

promoting concept of “green revolution”.

Disadvantages of Technology in Education:

Many experts and experienced people say

that, due to such technology in education,
students imagination is affected, their thinking
ability is reduced.

Sometime it’s also time-consuming from

teacher’s point of view.

It is costly to install such technology.

There can be health issues too when used

over limit.
IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
ON SOCIETY
We utilize and rely on
technology in our daily lives,
and our technical
requirements and demands
continue to grow. Technology
is used by humans to
explore, connect, study, and
do work. The manner in which
we use technology decides
whether its effects are
beneficial or detrimental for
society.
 POSITIVE IMPACTS OF
TECHNOLOG Y ON SOCIETY
Technology has a more positive impact on
humans or society as compared to negative. It
makes our life easier and reward us by
providing resources or tool that make our life
much easier. Following are some positive
changes that technology brings to our life:

• Improved Communication: Communication is

the most important part of society, we build
or transfer our thoughts with each other with
the help of communication. Earlier people
used pigeons or birds to transfer their
messages to their loved ones. After that
technology slowly grows and the medium of
transferring information is changed to mobile
phones, email, etc. Nowadays we send
messages to loved ones or known people via
email, social media platforms, etc. It is the
fastest, efficient, and effective medium.
People can talk or share information with
their loved ones easily even if they are very
far away from them.
• Improved Education and learning
process: Technology enhances the
education and learning process.
Nowadays people can easily enhance
their knowledge using the internet. Most
of the data is present on the internet is
free of cost and you can access this
data anytime and anywhere.

• Mechanized Agriculture: Technology

changes the working mechanism of
farmers. Lots of machines and technical
instruments were introduced in the
agricultural area which makes farming
very easy, effective, automated, etc.

• Easy to access information: We can

easily access information via the internet
anytime and anywhere. Most of the
information is present on the internet are
free of cost so you can use them to
enhance your knowledge, skills, etc.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF
TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY
As we know that everything
present on this planet has both
advantages and disadvantages.
The same goes for technology it
also has negative impacts on
society and some other negative
impacts are:
•Increase in unemployment:
Nowadays large and small
business uses machinery and
technical equipment because of
their low costing and high
efficiency due to which the rate of
unemployment is increasing
continuously.
• Increase in pollution: Not only humans
but technology also affecting our
environment. Due to vehicles
and machinery, the rate of pollution is
increasing continuously which causes
global warming, etc.

• Increase in health and mental concerns:

Nowadays technology effecting the
physical as well as mental health of
human beings. It makes people lazy,
emotionally week, sleeping problems,
reduce physical activity, also people are
spending less time with their family and
friends.

• Increase cybercrimes: Due to the

excessive use of the internet, the rate of
cybercrimes are also increased. Some
people(attackers) harm innocent
people(victims) or children for money or
fun.
 TECHNOLOGY INDUCED
SOCIETAL CHANGES
• Identity Theft: To use the identity of
some other person by getting his financial/
personal information in a fraud manner in
order to commit a crime.

• Gaming Addiction: An individual’s

capacity to perform in multiple life
domains is severely affected as a result of
the excessive use of internet games over
a long period of time.

• Health and Fitness: Using a lot of the

internet lay an impact on health and
fitness, it may impact your eyesight,
backbone, etc.

• Cyber Bullying: The use of technology to

bully, abuse, criticize, or target another
person is known as cyberbullying.
• Terrorism and Crime: Theft of our
cyber-infrastructure, as well as
digital information such as
software, hardware, data, or
information, is considered cyber
terrorism.

• Communication Breakdown: A
communication breakdown occurs
when information is not
exchanged, resulting in a loss of
interaction.

• Defamation of Character: The act

of transmitting a piece of false
information in order to do serious
harm to another person’s goodwill
is known as defamation of
character.
 TECHNOLOGY INDUCED
CULTURAL CHANGES
Our culture has been radically
transformed by technology. From
our ideals to our modes of
communication, we’ve come a
long way. Many people now find it
difficult to conduct a face-to-face
chat. People use their phones,
tablets, or computers to spend
time with their buddies. Also,
individuals now evaluate others
based on how technologically
whether or not they own the most
latest mobile phones or cars.
Nowadays listening to music on
headphones is preferred over
listening to another person.
Most individuals nowadays prefer
the internet because that is all they
have ever known. Cell phones with
touch screens are all the rage
these days. Technology just serves
to separate people from actuality.
People nowadays lack the ability to
interact in real-life situations such
as individual connections, problem-
solving, and showing adult actions.
All this is influencing our culture.
Technology influences culture
every time we may get anything
from an internet seller rather than
going to a local business. Every
moment someone always sits down
to watch our night on-demand
enjoyment, we are shaping culture
through technology.
 CYBER CRIMES DUE TO
TECHNOLOGY
• Hacking: An effort to manipulate a
computer system or a network within a
computer is known as hacking. It is
unauthorized control of computer
systems with the intention of committing
a crime.

• Credit/Debit Card theft: Credit card

fraud refers to any type of fraud
involving a payment card, such as a
credit or debit card. The objective could
be to obtain products or services, or to
transfer the funds to a criminal-
controlled account.

• Malware installation: Any program or

file that is dangerous to a computer user
is known as malware. Viruses, worms,
Trojan horses, and spyware are all
examples of malware.
•e-mail threat: The use of email to
deceive another person for personal
benefit or to harm another person.
Phishing: Depending on the offender,
phishing attempts can target a wide
spectrum of people. It’s possible that
these are generic phishing emails
aimed at anyone with a PayPal
account. These are frequently
identified as phishing attempts.

•Spams: An undesired, uninvited

digital message that is sent in large
quantities is known as spam. You can
get spam via email, phone calls, text
messages etc.

•ATM cards theft: ATM fraud refers to

a crime in which the criminal make
the payments for the criminal
activities via some other person’s
ATM card using the PIN.
 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, there are many
benefits to technology and there
are also many downfalls that
many people forget about. It is
important to be educated on all
aspects of something especially
when it is impacting mind, body
and society altogether.

As long as people are aware of

the negative impacts technology
can have on the society, we can
try to use it in a more positive
and effective way in our every-
day life.
 REFLECTIONS
After conducting the survey, I was able
to analyse the various impacts of
technology in our daily life. I
understood the various pros and cons
of technology. Technology has many
advantages and will be helpful for the
future generations. But on the other
hand, it is important to understand that
excess use of technology will lead to
nothing but destruction of human life.
Also, I was able to understand that
technology is highly integrated with
education. But technology also has
many effects on our health. 40% of the
people said that the excessive use of
technology leads to eye defects. Also,
45% of the participants said that the
major psychological effect is isolation.
53% of the participants had said that
they used their gadgets ‘ very frequently
and 38% of participants said that they
use their gadgets for 2-3 hours. This
gives us an idea about how excessively
Is technology is being used.

55% of the people say that it is very

easy to access information using tech-
nology.

43% of the participants say that they

feel safe about their information online
and 44% are well aware about cyber
crime. This shows that our society has
knowlegde about cyber crimes.

Finally, I am in position to say that

technology is taking us to advanced
scientific developments but also it is
adversely impacting our mental ,
physiological as well as our social
health.
