The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life 

cellphones in class  

As a 21st century language teacher, I have found myself using technology when teaching, by instance, when planning or learning a something new for my lessons. Personally speaking, I am not very fond on technological reliance. I have my reasons why. First, I love technological devices, but sense them extremely time consuming (probably that's why I dislike my mobile) I tend to think that technology should be humanised.  
 
 Heart Technologies Technology in the Classroom - Heart Technologies

Although technology seems to be immerse in every aspect of my profession, I like finding spaces to avoid it time to time. I remember a few years back by instance, electricity power went off at the faculty where I was dictating a class. I did not have much troubles to catch up and continue with paper based activities. My students did not notice the lack of technological support. However, more and more people involved in education seems to rely too much on technology...

 Television in the classroom

On the other hand, TV's, PC's and CD's aren't what you could consider as much as technology since they are so attached to people's mind mould today. In many occasions, I see my profession under the same prism and sometimes I envision a classroom packed up with all sorts of devises, which I believe do not make a lesson the better learning experience for learners.

In the end, I believe that technology is here to stay. The thing is to be wise enough to manage it and not the other way round.

    I'm agree with the "fear" of be technology dependent. The world is going too fast to understand theses problems.

    even though nowadays it's almost impossible to live without the company of technological devices, it's good from time to time that instances like the power outage you had while teaching happen. a good balance is the important thing :-)

    I also think that technology is very time consuming , so I try to disconnect from it at times.

    Technological dependence is very interesting, I do not see it as something so bad, in fact it is often more ecological, I feel that on the one hand it can also democratize knowledge. Although with so many classes through Zoom, I would love to have one on a whiteboard right now: '(

    Technology is a medium that is very useful to all of us, but sometimes I feel that we forget how to live without it :(

    I think technology is useful but consumes a lot of time in life.

    yes, I think that more than technology, social media consumes so much time and energy, we have to be careful with those tools, keep it under control.

    I think technology is helpful but very addictive so it consumes a lot of our time
