This, for verious reasons such as: Technology is complicated, Technology is not save, Technology is expansive, technology is constantly changing, technology is to much information, Technology is taking over our social life etc.  Although there is a certain amount of truth in the arguments mentions above it obvious that there are more bennefits then disadvantages. e.g.  - Tablets are replacing the many/heavy textbooks we used to carry in our bags,  - Using devices like Tablets, smartphones in classrooms we can research just about     anything that we want more easy any where any time as soon as you have internet      access.  - It is much easier to explain even complex theorie by visualising u...
