Indubitably, education is the best weapon to change the world. It is often argued that technological advancement has brought paradigm shift in the traditional practice of teaching. However, it is a mixed bag of both boon and bane.

On the constructive part, society is blessed with numerous benefits because of online teaching which are worth mentioning. To begin with, not only it makes teaching interesting and penetrable for everyone, but also it provides wide range of flexibility to all kinds of students. For instance, during covid pandemic teaching was only possible face to face through technological applications such as teams, Microsoft applications which made it possible to bring whole class in one space. Secondly, unlike traditional lectures, advanced teaching techniques breaks monotony of teaching and make materials and instructions more comprehensive and designed with a plethora of educational videos which creates constructive ripples in terms of learning and students benefit considerably. Thirdly, technology provide online training for those students who are not capable to continue their full time studies due to financial and personal constrains but this practise support them to maintain balance between work and education. 

Nevertheless, there are potential short coming from this trend. Chiefly, prudence will not prevail, if there is no face to face communication. The subjects like science and engineering equipped with practical lessons is hard and complex to make it possible to learn at any place because they can be possible only in safe laboratories under supervision. Furthermore, can technology replace the teachers? Certainly no, teachers are trained professional so they understand the caliber of each students and also give them feedback accordingly. Seemingly, students also able to connect emotionally with their teachers and achieve good scores.

Suffice to say, although on the broader spectrum advancements in teaching sets a high standards of education yet traditional practise is the solid base which further make roots of education stronger. Needless to say, prudence will prevail if both things go hand in hand.
