It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences. - Freeman Dyson Technology plays an important role in every sphere of life. It has certainly changed the way we live in different aspects of life and redefined living. Several sectors like medicine, warfare, transportation and navigation, business, economy, and even in education particularly in science and mathematics. Manual tasks can be automated, complex and critical processes can be carried out with ease and efficiency with the help of modern technology. Each fields have undergone a major change and sure, they have changed for the better. High†¦show more content†¦2. Through the thorough assessment and evaluation of the survey results, the school departments may then improve program and services which appear ineffective, strengthen areas which have significantly contributed to the academic development of the students in the university, and impose to the students the information sent and the proper use of this technology. 3. By carefully considering the opinions and suggestions of the targeted students solicited through the survey, the departments may consider implementing the use of these technologies on their teaching strategies, learning environment and the interaction between the teacher and the students. 4. Moreover, this survey and the action undertaken as a result of the assessment and evaluation of the survey will promote a deeper understanding of the negative and positive impacts of technology dependency of the students on their academic development and the relationship of technology and education of college students to the development of their behavior, social awareness, lifestyle and most especially on their academic performance which the study focuses to.
