With the aid of technology, many changes have been observed and enhancement in my learning experience has been noted due to access to information, resources and interactive learning. By the help of internet sources, I can study anything from science to arts, depending on the time of the day, and my own convenient schedule. Whatever one is learning, the use of interactive simulations and virtual reality applications give the learner practical touch and feel in a way that creates an understanding of those concepts that was never imaginable. Sharing ideas with people from all around the world via forums and video conferences, or through document sharing enlightens me and other team members with various approaches to solving a given problem.

But there are difficulties related to the use of technology as well. Interference from what is seen on related social platforms and other content hampers effective concentration and work. Also, the credibility of the sources, which are used, must be checked to guarantee the reliability of the data I use.

To sum up, with the help of technology every person has an opportunity to receive education, and it became more free and diverse. It enables me to study by myself, delve into subjects I love, and be a part of a massive learning platform with students and professionals all over the world. Adopting technology in my learning process has not only enhanced my knowledge but also enabled me to acquire other valuable skills in preparedness for today’s world.
