INTRODUCTION
The era of 21st century is often regarded as an
era of technology. Technology, today, plays a very
important role in our life. It is seen as a basis of
growth of an economy. 
An economy which is poor in technology can never
grow in  today’s scenario.This is because
technology makes our work much easier and less
time consuming. The impact of technology can be
felt in every possible field one such field is
Education.
WHAT is technology?
Technology is a term that refers to a body of
knowledge that is employed to generate tools,
create skills, and choose materials for human use.
Technology includes the use of materials, tools,
techniques, and sources of power to make life
easier or more pleasant and work more
productive.
what is e- learning?
We define e Learning as courses that are
specifically delivered via the internet to
somewhere other than the classroom where the
professor is teaching. It is not a course delivered
via a DVD or CD-ROM, video tape or over a
television channel. It is interactive in that you can
also communicate with your teachers, professors
or other students in your class. 
Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can
“electronically” raise your hand and interact in real
time and sometimes it is a lecture that has been
prerecorded. There is always a teacher or
professor interacting /communicating with you
and grading your participation, your assignments
and your tests
impact
Technological developments like digital cameras,
projectors, mind training software, computers,
PowerPoint presentations, 3D visualization tools;
all these have become great sources for
teachers to help students grasp a concept easily.
It has to be understood that visual explanation of
concepts makes learning fun and enjoyable for
students. They're able to participate more in the
classroom and even teachers get a chance to
make their classes more interactive and
interesting. 
ADVANTAGES
It makes students more excited to learn
help students with busy schedules, freedom to
work at home on their own time
train students to learn new technology skills they
can use later in the work place
Decrease paper and photocopying costs,
promoting concept of "green revolution"
DISADVANTAGES
Many experts and experienced people say that,
due to such technology in education, students
imagination is affected, their thinking ability is
reduced.
Also its sometime time-consuming from teacher’s
point of view.
It is costly to install such technology.
There can be health issues too when used over
limit some students can't afford modern computer
technologies.
