Technology helps students understand concepts better through videos, presentations, and educational apps. It also saves time and provides easy access to information. Students can clear their doubts quickly by using online resources, educational websites, and learning platforms. Technology also helps students improve skills such as typing, research, and problem-solving, which are important for their future.

In conclusion, technology has both positive and negative effects on studies. When used properly, it can improve learning and knowledge. Therefore, technology should be used as a helpful tool rather than a distraction in student’s life.
