Technology has changed the way we live at an alarming rate. Human beings invented and developed technologies to modify our lives in a positive way.

In commercial, machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, business intelligence tools and cloud computing are used to create new methods to conduct, run and manage the business. The storage of data has been advanced by cloud computing so as one can access it anywhere anytime. As outlined by Ahuja (2013), These technologies have affected our lives in a positive and negative ways. Newly invented technologies were as a result of human curiosity, techniques of solving problems and creativity.

Technology has changed method of learning. Anyone can access information, data anywhere anytime with the use of computers and internet. Online classes are available for free for some courses, degrees; masters and PhD can be done online without a physical classroom. A robot aims at contributing in training. In the past, schools were located far from home and not everyone can access (Ahuja, 2013). The down time of online classes is lack of physical interaction with other human beings. Soon, people will forget how to communicate to other human beings. There is boredom since it involves human computer interaction. Social life and cultural values begins to fade away in this manner. In case of any question no one can provide the tangible information. It contributes to laziness among the students since all information is provided on the internet, hence no though research in our physical libraries. (Developers, 2018).
