  TECHNOLOGY: Boon or bane Throughout the ages, technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. Today, technology can be defined as nothing but a competition to make things smaller and smaller. Technology is the technical means people use to improve their surroundings. It is also the knowledge of using tools and machines to do tasks efficiently. We use technology to control the world in which we live. Technology is people using knowledge, tools and systems to make their lives easier and better. However, once new technology is created, the question becomes how to control it, so that is not used in harmful ways. Technology would be all good if all the people who created it were morally responsible, and people took time to make safeguards to ensure that no one else misused it. However, that's not the case. It is much easier to immediately release new technology than to wait and think of all the possible ways to misuse that new technology and create reasonable safeguards. Through the ages, technology has been used for good as well as bad causes, for example, when similar things are a blessing and at times a curse. Drugs in the form of medicine are a lifesaver but when one becomes addicted, it is a plague. The Internet when used for education is a big help for learning opportunity, but when browsed for porn, criminal activity is sick. Nuclear products, when used as weapons, are destructive to the core but when used in the form of nuclear medicine such as chemotherapy, is a weapon against diseases like cancer. Technology is intelligence, a human interface. All we have to understand is that it is up to us on how to make use of it. But in my view technology has proved to be a bane in almost all aspects of our lives.

*What kind of students would you like your students to become 10-15 years from now? Education in all its form is considered as the essential foundation for sustainable development. It makes a positive contribution in combating the problem of poverty, the degradation of the environment and the improvement of nutrition. Education is also an important factor in fostering social cohesion and democratic government. The goal of education is to make people wiser, more knowledgeable, better informed, ethical, responsible and capable of continuing to learn. For me, education is the key for a better future, that’s why I want to become a teacher. I want to be one of those educators who are molding the youth to be a better person. Ten to fifteen years from now, if I become a teacher I want to see my students become professionals and become good and responsible citizens. Seeing my students successful in their chosen career would be a great achievement for me because I have contributed something that helped them in reaching their dreams. And seeing them become a good citizen will also make me glad because I've done my part in molding them to become good and responsible. I would like to see them obeying laws and following rules and regulations.  This are the things I wish to come true in the near future
