STUDENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
When my dad was at school, there weren’t any computers and
the internet didn’t exist. He didn’t communicate with his friends
by email and he didn’t make new friends in chat rooms online.

we can find information much more easily than we could in the
past. You don’t need to search through books and
encyclopaedias. You can enter your key words in a search
engine and then choose from the many websites which can give
you the information you need.
