The big problem about technology misuses can be summarized in two
words: culture and education. Some people aren't sufficiently cultured
to use technology properly as a tool because they use it as an easy way
solution or as a fashionable trends. Also, these people do not have
education to use it correctly.
Because of hundreds of services that technology offers, there are
many techniques to harm persons and waste time. People use their time to
harm others even though they know that it is not good. For example,
people manufactures use it as weapons to destroy others instead of
improving themselves.
People are actually concerned about misuse and abuse of technology.
Society states that internet uses lead to intimidation or threat to
people as well as allowing easy piracy by providing the infrastructure
to illegal music or software downloads and plagiarism. Educational
institutions are worried about students' development in their classes
due to misuses of technology. For instance, learners are using
cellphones, playing games, and surfing on some pornographic web sites
and other non suitable sites during class. Some students even start
using cellphones at the age of ten. This isn't a bad thing because many
parents are both working and have to leave their children with a
babysitter, so they need a way to communicate with their children.
Nowadays, children not only want to have cellphones, but also prefer to
have the latest version of it. If children do not have it, they might
feel ashamed with their friends and prefer to leave their old-fashioned
cellphone at home. Moreover, many late model cellphones have built-in
camera and some people use it to record pictures or videos that may
damage others reputation. Because of these, some people say and think
that the technology is responsible and it is not good for society.
However, people have to understand that this is happening because of
technology misuse. As a tool, technology do not do anything to threaten
the society, it is the misuse of it that threatens society. It is humans
that uses a technology that threatens society, the fault is at the user
of the technology, not the technology itself.
Digital counterfeiting is a great example of the misuse if
technology. Digital counterfeiting is the illegal act of creating copies
of items such as currency, legal documents, and credit cards with the
use of computers, printers, and scanners. With the high resolution and
extremely good color quality of the printers offered today, individuals
have increased the opportunity that’s higher than ever to create digital
counterfeiting. The US Secret Service estimates that more than 60% of
all counterfeited money today is created digitally. With the advancement
in technology of printers, scanners, and computers, the increase of
digital counterfeiting is at an all time high.

ReplyDeleteGood presentation and big up to u
KAPELE HARRY, TEKU/BAED/HK/11677
ReplyDeleteYes! The word technology is a combination of two Greek words, techne and logos. Techne means art, craft, or skill. Logos means “to speak of”. Some have since taken the word logos to imply the practical application of techne, but others say that is stretching its etymological roots. Merriam-Webster says technology is:
“Application of knowledge to the practical aims of human life or to changing and manipulating the human environment. Technology includes the use of materials, tools, techniques, and sources of power to make life easier or more pleasant and work more productive. Whereas science is concerned with how and why things happen, technology focuses on making things happen.”
Important question to avoid misuse of technology.
How do I use technology?
How does my technology behavior impact others?
What courtesy do I extend to others when I am using
technology?
When using technology, does my behavior infringe on
others' rights?
How do I/we use technology to learn new ideas?
Do I act responsible when using technology?
Do I act in a way to keep myself safe when using
technology.
God bless you all and have a fantastic X-mass and Happy New Year 2014.

DeleteMisuse of technology happens in our societies because the technology we are using today actually does not originate in our environment but originated from developed countries like USA, CHINA, UK & RUSSIA. From the bottom of my heart, i believe whenever someone eager to imitate something from other people he can't use it in proper manner that makes him to use in wrong way.

Technology itself is not a threat to people because, technology help people to interact both national and international, hence individual, community and national development.
ReplyDeleteBut we as an individuals as a controllers of technology, how we use and interact with this modern kind of technology is a problem, we can cause a misuse of technology, hence moral decay in our society(ies). So we are supposed to use technology or technological materials/devices properly.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
ReplyDeleteNew technologies can add efficiencies, but they can't replace old methods of teaching.
Technology has revolutionized the classroom but is not without its disadvantages--not in its use, but in what its use replaces. Many classrooms are being retrofitted with Smart boards and computers but they cannot replace old methods of teaching.
Potential
The technology available today has made a wealth of knowledge available to students, which offers great potential for the speed and style of learning. Information is presented in so many ways that any type learner, whether gifted or disabled, can find and use the necessary material. This fact relates not only to the Internet, but to all the many technological improvements in learning, from smart boards to handheld dictionaries.
Loss of Skills
With this increased access to knowledge also comes a probable loss of communication skills and interactive abilities between students and teacher, and students to peers. These skills are not as necessary in a classroom of computers, where individuality is a component of learning and is encouraged. Aside from learning, conflict resolution and socialization used to be two prominent reasons children came to school. The emphasis now has shifted away from these areas.
Access to All
Education is no longer the elitist privilege it once was. The information on the Internet is there for all who have access, without discrimination. People of all social strata are able to use technological advances, which is a fairly new academic development in America.
Poor Remain Poor
While general access is not denied, some children may not be exposed to computers and other technology because of socio-economic status. A child may live in a home without a computer, and chances are he will attend a poor school district with limited numbers of computers available. A student may get to use a computer for a short time, or only as a once-a-week activity instead of a regular class period. This puts these children at a disadvantage in learning technological functions. Poor districts are also most likely not to be the recipients of other technological modes of learning.
Advantages vs. Disadvantages
The computer age is here; this cannot be debated. Is it better for children to have access to computers with all their data at the loss of interpersonal skills? Is it acceptable that a student can talk to someone halfway around the world via instant messaging but not be able to get along with the student sitting next to her in a classroom? Technology can enhance traditional methods of learning but cannot replace the human touch. Ultimately, the quality of the class will depend solely on the quality of the teacher and not the presence of technology.

ReplyDeleteThe reason why technology in Tanzania helps us for layer extent it's due to many Tanzanians having tendency of not believing their values that actually made by African themselves but they believe on things made by developed countries like USA that influence many Tanzanians to distort their culture such as making pots and baskets. Although foreign technology distort Africans culture in other side it simplify the whole process of teaching such as using Overhead Projector (OHP) may help a teacher to teach even five hundred within single period so technology is how you are using it.
