Technology can be defined as the collection of techniques, methods, or processes used to develop goods and services or achieve objectives like scientific investigation. Technology can exist as knowledge or be embedded in machines and devices that can be operated without full understanding of their inner workings. Technology is important for education because it allows schools to stay current with a future oriented around technology and multitasking. It also improves students' skills like communication, collaboration, problem solving and more through digital learning. Technology increases collaboration by letting students work with others remotely, and reduces the physical weight students must carry by replacing books with digital formats on laptops and tablets.
