Gained insights:

In today’s world, the more we communicate, the more we can be connected. The role of
technology is not just for communication but also for education. Because technology may not only
enhance communication skills but also lead to foster knowledge.

Being a student, technology is already a part on our daily living, it connects us and make
our works fast and easy. But we must control the use of technology in our life to help not just
ourselves but also our world. Because addiction to technology has a lot of impact to our society, it
reduces the possibility that the young people can be our greatest heroes someday.
