Technology has greatly improved the way we get information. Students can now get more
information, get it more quickly, and get it more conveniently.

The Internet and the World Wide Web has opened every major library and database to students
around the world. Information comes not only in print form, but also in multimedia. You can get
audio and video data. You can get information about events in the past as well as events that
unfold as you watch your computer monitor.

Information comes at the speed of the Internet which is to say in nanoseconds. ? You can type in
a few key words in your search engine, and the engine will search the entire WWW to find
information on your topic. You don't have to spend hours pouring over card catalogs in the library
and looking at the shelves. This research is done for you instantly on the Web.

It is certainly more convenient to sit at home and do research on your computer. Your computer is
open 24-hours a day, unlike a library or office which has limited hours and limited resources. You
can do research in your pajamas while you eat breakfast. What could be more convenient?

Technology, especially the Internet, has certainly changed the quantity and quality of the
information we get. The speed and convenience of a computer helps students learn more, more
quickly.
