THE ADVANCE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAS SOME IMPACTS TO THE EDUCATION



The advance of Science and Technology is something that we cannot avoid in this life. Technological advances will occur in a row with science. The development of science and technology so rapidly that can bring numerous benefits for us. Previous jobs that require physical ability now can be replaced by automated devices. With this we get a variety of convenience in carrying out daily activities. Even today almost every one cannot separate themselves from it. Each of us takes advantage of long-distance communication tools such as mobile phone to communicate with people who far away.  Many activities that were done using human power, now with the development of science and technology can be solved with the use of mechanical power to do it with a more rapid time than in human using the power manually.

Along with the development of science and technology, we are growing both at work and also our thinking becomes more advanced. This is very helpful for us to fulfill the necessities and overcome the problems facing in our everyday life (teknologi.kompasiana.com/.../pengaruh-perkembangan iptek terhadapkehidupanmanusia.

Science and technology arise as a result of human activities to make us more easily to finish our works. In general, the positive impact is obtained as a result of our progress is very helpful in solving the problems we face, or in other words providing various facilities to help us in the activity. The examples like we can use computer to type and save our document. Computer helps us to do our job. Many years ago people use their power like by using hand writing or typed it in typewriter. Another example is on agricultural activities, plowing using the traditional tools but now we are using machine tools.
In addition, with these advances can help us to expand the variety of information. It is important for us, so we will be missed without information. Many print and electronic media is growing rapidly. This forces us to be able and always get a variety of information. Many times ago, very slow delivery of news events; this is because these activities are done traditionally. But this kind of activity is almost extinct, in which the progress of science and technology has changed everything so we did not have to wait long to get news or send a message.
The increase of knowledge has positive effects of the advance of technology. The computer includes very sophisticated types of equipment, where there are only certain people that can afford use it. But now the electronic equipment such as computers, mobile and internet have become things that are already familiar. This is the positive influence that affects our knowledge and insight.

In this paper is focused on the influence of science and technology in education especially for learners. Information technology has a vital role in education. It is among other media, especially the advent of mass media as a source electronic for science and education center. Inevitably, internet and mobile phones become a media that assist students in accessing knowledge. Students’ tasks can be done by computer. Teachers are not only source of knowledge but students can seek additional knowledge to access it via the internet. Other than that the emergence of new methods that makes students able to understand the material being taught. Much information is put on the internet that can be used as a reference for students.

Advancement of science and technology not only has a positive impact but there are many negative influences caused. The negative impacts, affect the mindset, the loss of traditional culture and the rise of criminal acts, etc... The most rapidly affected are children. Without knowing, the pattern of thinking and actions of today's children is due to the influence of technological progress. When the foreign cultures come, we prefer to adopt and use it. This over time will destroy our cultural heritage. The most prominent today is the criminal acts. In the electronic equipment used like mobile phone has never missed that name the pornographic images and pornographic videos. It’s affected to the children’s mental and action. Sexual violence, pornographic acts and other acts such as promiscuity, violence, gambling, fraud, etc. is a form of abuse of the media. Otherwise it could make someone addicted.

Who’s wrong?? Who’s to be blamed?? On the one hand, technological progress is helping us but on the other hand this is a major influence on our mental ahead. Do we should dismiss all of it for the sake of future generations or we will continue to live it all but with aloud that the expense of many children that would fall into a bad thing. It is undeniable that without science and technology we cannot do anything about it. It is like we are in the middle of the road; want to get a head or stay in place.
Each innovation is created to provide positive benefits to human life, gives much ease, as well as new ways of doing human activities. Specialized in the field of community technology already enjoy many benefits brought by the innovations that have been produced in the last decade. But we cannot deceive ourselves in the fact that the technology brings a variety of negative effects for humans.
How do we address this? Back to our selves. When we feel that this progress is important to us then we need to use it properly. Awareness of each person to use and apply science and technology as well as possible is most important to the achievement of positive science and technology utilization. In addition, each individual must realize the negative impact of science and technology and suppress negative impact so as not to harm ourselves and others. When it's stuck with the problem, who’s be blamed?
