Role Of Modern Technology In Personality Development Of Students



Nowadays, dependence on technology has made it mandatory to survive in this era of modern technology. The major breakthrough of robots and flying cars has proved that technology is going to revolutionize the world by dominating human beings. These inventions are not necessity of human beings but there are some technologies which have become necessity and these include television, Cable TV Services and Internet Services. These technologies are the most users friendly and cheap to avail. According to the reports of international telecommunication union, the usage of internet has increased from 738 million people in 2000 to 3.2 billion people in 2015. So it can be seen from the statistics how fast technology is revolutionizing the world.

There are still some people who can’t avail and afford these technologies. They can’t afford to spend money on each technology separately. Due to this reason, there have been established such companies which can provide every technology in deals and packages. They provide their customers packages which contain internet service, cable television on a very cheap rate. These technologies have also become status symbol to the people. People who don’t own internet service and cable Television in their home are not considered as part of this modern society.

These technologies play significant role in lives of students and their personality development. Every invention has both positive and negative impacts too. Positive impacts of these technologies include that students can easily search any query if they have missed something during their lectures. If student could not understand something, they can easily search that on internet in minutes instead of approaching teachers. Cable television makes student aware about the world and their surroundings. This was not common in old times when there was used to have one television in whole society. Thestudents who don’t avail internet service and cable television, there would be much difference in their personality and the student who owns these technologies. Those students won’t have awareness about their surroundings and what’s going in the world. Such students remain at disadvantaged position in their personality development.

There are also some side effects of these technologies. Every discovery is made for the benefit of people but sometimes people don’t understand this. As negative impact is concerned, cheap internet services would be considered as most harmful for students. As cable TV is concerned, somehow parents can manage to prevent their children to watch such programs which would create negative impact in their personality development. Parents can’t manage to keep an eye on what’s going on their children mobile phones and laptops. The availability of cheap internet services has put adults on disadvantaged positions. Nowadays, students are watching such material which creates negative impact on their personality development. The increases in aggressiveness, sharpness, cybercrimes, giving time to their laptops and cell phones at the expense of their studies have become debatable issue. Every discovery has side effects; there won’t be any discovery without side effects. It is the responsibility of people to understand their role in this society and try to minimize those side effects.
