Technology During the Post-Pandemic Era: Adaptation or Limitation?

According to The Guardian, “Professors, programmers and journalists could all be out of a job in just a few years” [1]. In North America, long before the pandemic, some high schools (both public and private) replaced books and notebooks with laptops. In universities, the students preferred listening to the recordings of the lectures taken on their computers or phones instead of actively taking notes during the classes. Technology has been the topic of many debates among teachers, parents, and students. Seen both advantageous and disadvantageous, technology in the classroom has become indispensable to teaching. Technology has proven to have been the only way out of the pandemic crisis regarding business and education. The trend in the education field in a post-pandemic context resulted from a blend between teaching approaches and technology use. However, in a post-pandemic context, this trend has been seen as one of the central factors leading to an increase in the lack of inperson socialization for youths and a principal distraction from their studies. Moreover, the development of more advanced software (A.I. Bot ChatGPT) has started to influence the teaching process regarding assignments. However, the real question is how and to what extent the use of technology can be advantageous for students today.
