Is the technology enhanced our focus on learning or distracted our focus from the learning?

 Hello, my fellow followers,

After a long time, I have got some free time. Well, congrats on my new job as a lecturer at a reputed university in Thailand. So many wondering why I am still in Thailand after a decade I spent here. The answer is simple: I love to be here because of their traditions, and their heritage makes me fall in love with this country much more. 

Let me come to the point. As a lecturer and a fellow computer geek, I always ask the question myself. Whether technology is made us focus or distract us? However, I have two specific answers to the question: Yes and No. 

Every single thing in this universe has two sides or more than two sides. Likewise, technology has also had it's good and bad. Let me share my perspectives about the good side of technology. Technology brought all the complete information into our hands. Whenever we need some information, reference, or whatever, we have all of it in our hands. We can communicate nook and corner of this earth, predict the weather, and understand third-world countries' cultures or traditions while staying under our shades. Technology gives us the whole medium of a cozy, friendly, and private environment.

Meanwhile, We are facing the focussing problem too. Technology has made a significant impact on the good side as well as on the opposite side too. Nowadays, children are facing the problem of distraction. For example, When a student surfs the internet for some information, he/she will distract easily by funny videos, sci-fi thumbnail pictures, or porn. Technology has brought one of the worst nightmares to the present generation. University of Michigan survey stated that Facebook brings depression and Mental health illnesses to their users. The overflow of information makes the user lack focus and is a more significant cause of depression without reason.


Like a coin, everything has two sides. All we should keep a balance on it. Otherwise, It won't bring any good deeds from it.
