Impact of Technology Educational Implications on the New Generations:

Abstract

Our world today is marked by rapid changes in technology, particularly in information technology and the mass media. These changes which have come to stay, have completely revolutionalized our lives and our day to day reality, bringing with it vast possibilities for education and employment while at the same time creating many cultural and social changes which are yet to be fully realized, understood and responded to by young persons, parents, educators and those responsible for guiding them. We therefore try to analyse the impact of such environment on the persons of the younger generations who are technologically savvy but need to be helped in understanding the consequences of the use or abuse of such technology on their lives and future possibilities. We begin by studying the different generations, their environmental realities and the consequent influence on their personalities and characteristics.
