Technology can vastly improve the quality of our daily lives, but, it can also have undesirable consequences. Our modern information age requires that people interact with technology in some way every day. Technology impacts our decisions so much in the areas of school, career, home, personal affairs, and government, that technological literacy has been called the new basic in education. Technological literacy is the ability to interact successfully with technology, to assess the impact of technology on everyday life and make appropriate decisions, and to apply conceptual knowledge to solve problems.
