Indeed, researchers have affirmed that computer technology provides abundant opportunities for students to build or modify their personal knowledge through the rich experiences that technology affords. Never forget our Professional college students are well adapted to Technology in the lower grades of Studentship. They studied the potential of multimedia and hypermedia technologies, even when they are young Even at major cities and many public schools students use multimedia technology to enhance even sixth-grade students’ information gathering and writing skills. The Projects were developed and tested in sixth-grade or higher classrooms for two years and showed that students made statistically significant improvement in their recognition and use of o f elements such as main ideas, supporting details, and cause and effect relationships. As Medical Teachers reading text alone in classrooms will not improve our Medical students, as we do in didactic teachings, lecturing, and Enhancing access efficiency through digital multimedia. Multimedia presentations (video, images, sound, and text) can create stronger memory links than text alone. In addition, digital technologies allow instant i nstant playbacks, which provide the learner with quick and easy access to different sections of instructional materials than when they are using a textbook.

Other reviews (Coley, 1997 Many have reported that technology has been found to improve school and college attendance and decrease dropout rates with a positive impact i mpact on students’ independence and feelings of responsibility for their own learning. Computer technology on the self-esteem of even dropout youth. Today many students find many of our didactic teachings are boring and outdated as in many upcoming institutions we have complex group of st students, udents, To keep the students attention attention focused on teachers is difficult difficult Moreover, technology use in the classroom helped to decrease absenteeism, lower low er dropout rates, and motivate more students to continue on to college (Sandholtz et al., 1997)I wish to state that T Technology echnology is not everything a competen competentt teacher have greater role We often discuss how technology has made life easy but easily forget that it has made us overly dependent on it. Have you thought of the impact of technology from this point of view? The impact of technology on society is deep. It is both positive and negative. Technology has largely influenced every aspect of living. It has made life easy, but so easy that it may lose its charm one day if the matters are not tailored to the optimal needs, the great problem with internet is it takes away to others areas which are not needed for our learning. One can cherish an accomplishment only if it comes after effort it means the students should not neglect basic basic skills in learning and practising, a ass everything has become so so
