impact of technology INTRODUCTION Over the last few years, there has been an increasing criticism about the impact of technology as an aid that can help people improve their performance be it at work and school. These sentiments are shared by Samuel Freedman and Maggie Jackson in their respective articles terming technology as an impediment rather an aid.
