 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">How Students should Use Technology as a Main Tool of Study? **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">For everywhere people can find Technology. It is in restaurants, schools, means of transportation, even in the own house. Technology facilitates the life to the human kind in many senses. But, are people using Tecnology in the right way? Atomic bombs, guns, some drugs are created thanks to Technology. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"There are 3 main ways in which technology can be used in education. One of them is horrible. One of them is neutral. One of them is great. One of them is used extensively. One of them is increasingly being used. One of them is not being used enough. One of them is technology being used to demonstrate an idea. One of them is using technology as a replacement for pen and paper. One of them is using technology to be creative." <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">(Creative Thinking Magazine, 2011, pág. 1) But let´s focus in just one topic: "How students should use technology as a main tool of study?". Students should use Technology as a main tool of study because of the edge we are living in, so students have to be updated with Technology.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Technology is letting back many students. " <span style="color: #282828; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">More than four in ten people (42 per cent) stated that their main reason for not having the internet at home was a lack of interest or need" <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> (Khan, 2012). Not all people have access to Internet, not all people have complete access to a computer, or to a Technology tool as a cellphone. It is difficult to students been updated with technology. This can be caused by many reasons. One of those could be the bad economy of many people. Not all students agree with tecnology progress. Also there is a problem, and it is that some people is against of been updated with many things, specially with Technology. This can be a serious problem cause scientists, engineers and programmers make Technology advancer even more every day.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The new learning prototype forces workers and specially students to been updated. All people must be updated with Technology, but specially workers and students. This is because teachers tend to make students use Tecnology everyday, even if they do not agree with this. In many cases technology facilitates students work. Tecnology can also facilitates the effort students do with all their works and homeworks. Also it is good to be updated with technology and at the same time learning new techniques.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To be an Technology exploiter can become an advantage. If teachers and students use tecnology in a right way both can become beneficiated. For example, students will have an easier study job." Although technology and invention have many advantages and disadvantages, the main reason things are invented is to make a task easier to perform. Technology makes tasks easier, quicker, more efficient, and better." (What are the advantages and disadvantages of technology and invention?, 2010) If students use Technology in the rigth way they can bring to themselves a very useful advantage. The best way to lear how to use Technology. Practice makes a teacher, so using and using over and over again technology will make expertes in this subject to students.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As a conclusion the best solution of the problem of using technology as a main tool of study would be maybe the use of this one."S <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">tudents need to know how to do a proper internet search, using search terms and modifiers. This skill is needed for school, work and life in general." (Andrade,2010). <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Students can take courses to learn more about how to use well this useful tool. According to an important technology article "T <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">echnology integration is extremely complex and the related research requires a comprehensive approach of both quantitative and qualitative methods if one is to take account of the range of variables identified by theoretical frameworks" <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> (San Diego, Cox, Quinn, Newton, Banerjee, & Woolford, 2011).
