The growth and absorption of technology into the educational system has prompted into diversified positive consequences right from the academic to co-academic aspects of education. Coming with excellent efficiency, convenience, efficacy and all manner of goodies, it comes with equal amount of proscribed consequences into the system on the students and teachers as elaborated below;
Facilitated quicker research; Through the technological invention and more so the flourishing use of websites to dump information by several scholars and study groups, research has become more effective and efficient. The students and teachers quickly have access to information they need immediately at hand from the domains and search engines. Learning and gaining knowledge, therefore, have turned out to be quicker as compared to the previous pre-technological era where research and access to information significantly depended on published hard books. Furthermore, the technology as insinuated by Edger has granted more accuracy in academic processes and procedures such as chemical or physical practical through video YouTube (Wayne A. Wiegand 49). The concept of YouTube has bolstered the efficiency and better grasp of concepts since all the steps and dictums are viewed and replayed for excellent value.
Through technological advancements, global and long distance learning has become a realistic dream. With the technology of computer and the internet, long distance learning has improved and become more comfortable to facilitate with more efficacy.

Sharing of learning materials, booking of classes and attending online courses has gained a greater dominance in the study and the academia. Teachers find it easy to lecture his or her students from a distant location through sophisticated websites and software such as the YouTube and Skype. Additionally, study and academic interactions by students such as group discussion have been an artifice of the YouTube and Skype.
Reduction of excess previously upheld by the low to zero technological innovations is an equal benefit from technology (Khan 183). The growth of the technology has attributed to the one-tutor several classes dream whereby a single tutor holds a condominium is lecturing responsibility of more than one class and school as per. Teachers and lecturers can achieve attending to class lessons for different courses for a variety of schools at per due to the advanced technology that grants the capacity of live streaming tutoring lessons through YouTube and Skyping. The technological growth, therefore, has brought along the essentialism of and maximum utilization of single workforce for various learning institutions. Furthermore, the tutors also enjoy economically sound operations due to managed expenses on traveling and subsequent simultaneous expenditures attached to the commuter.
Other than the direct academic facilitation, technology prompts useful non-teaching sections of the learning processes. Through the accompanying software and operations such as the Ms. Word, Excel, quick books, and SPSS, learners and teachers have found it validly efficient in conducting daily co-academic activities (French 79). For example, the processing and analysis of data derived from research and study got simplified approach since SPSS does the bulk piece of it unlike when the software never existed whereby it the processing and analysis and analysis of data was tedious, tiresome and time-consuming marked with erroneous loopholes in the due cause. Additionally, analysis and processing of students results by teachers got more efficient with an added accuracy with the introduction and utilization of further computer applications like the MS, excel that facilitates the auto-generation of results once fed into the system.
Management and school administration equally has faced a positive side of the technological creativity in the entire system. The innovations in software and applications have seen the improvements and ease in storage and maintenance of student’ data profiles in various departments. Financial records, the academic, personal particular data and data accuracy and consistency have been achieved by school management using the computer affiliated software and applications (M. Therese Ruzicka vii). Furthermore, it has reduced the would-be tasking responsibilities such as administrative processes of booking of hostels, booking of classes, course registration, and payment of fees, access to financial and expenses status and general communications and dissemination of diversified information to the students at a quite faster speed for the broader population. Co-academic activities hence have been transformed into a more active state with technology better than ever before.
Technology has made learning more fun and exciting hence advanced aptitude towards academic and learning sessions. The cropping of techno-savvy society with all in sundry demand has seen the location of technological aspects into the classroom. The scaling use of visuals, audio, and audiovisuals in the learning environment and class to boost the understanding has added a new taste to learning. The students of age find it more efficient, appealing and friendly the use of video clips and audio due to the entertainment aspect it brings (Fabio Paternò 175). Principally, the technology does not just render the gist of entertainments alone, but in subsequent, an innate interest in the learning sessions and fun derived from the classes becomes the vital backbone. The technology hence eliminates the boredom that conquered the traditional reading and teaching tactic that preexisted with a monotonous black and white approach.
Technology has corroborated the significance of convenience attached to innovation on both students and teachers. From the traditional carriage of backpacks, bulky textbooks and other several resources and accompaniments have become micromanaged into a squeezed laptop. With average storage capacity and working power charge, students and teachers quickly work their ways into the classroom and still achieve quality learning sessions in classes. Teachers also experience ease at carrying their resources into classrooms just through laptops that hold all relevant and needed materials for a successful teaching and learning session.
Globalization; the employment and utilization of technology through online discussions and interactions establish a strong outreach among students and teachers from different geographical and origins. The relationship after that transforms into an efficient ideological exchange and sharing that leads to a vast knowledge wealth that never existed in the geographically remote learning system of the traditional classroom.
On the flip side, technology has leveraged negative consequences in the education system in various scopes. Some of the manners of its unwarranted damages described as below;
Creating a lazy generation; the availability of most major works and sources of information and materials at the click of buttons have attributed to vanish off the traditional curiosity, assiduity, and commitments among the scholars. The laziness has furthermore created general laxity into them to the extent of extending to basic lifestyle.
The proliferation of school information and circumvention of fabricated results has become the norm. Like any other concept of life, the growth of technology has come with its downfalls handy to the benefits. The growing invention of technology and computer system of information processing and storage has faced massive challenge including that of hacking and generic production of materials. Schools have experienced their financial database looped into, hacked and data with altered for the benefits of the suspects. Furthermore, students and other illegal syndicates have gone a notch higher to produce generic fake documentations such as the academic transcripts and certificated due out of their exceptional creativity.
Accesses to YouTube and other social media outlets have brood a morally contaminated generation with little attraction towards education. Due to the access to proscribed materials, such as pornographic clips and images, ethically corrosive movies of criminal lifestyles, the schools have experienced a setback from the especially on the moral towards learning. The impacts have led to a scene of a battle between education and immorality.
The culture of technology and e-learning has robbed the society the social developments and maturity aspects especially among the students. The deviation from the traditional classroom and physical interaction among the students the teachers get devastated each day. The impact is that regular interaction and openness, sharing and sociological understanding and learning of diversified personalities grow thinner and ignominious with due.
In conclusion, the technological acceptance and marriage with education have made the related activities friendlier and convenient like never owing from resources, motivation, efficiency attached to it, convenience and supplementary advantages it offers. However, inappropriate and uncontrolled use of technology may lead to a horrific society of dilapidated morality, culture, and exposure to massive losses. Stakeholders should, therefore, take it up in their arms to evaluate and define the limitations of access and prescribed standards.
