- - - - Highlights inequalities in accessibility to education :green_cross:
        
        Many children in low income countries did not participate in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
        
        Leads to significant losses in learning, which will continue to worsen especially in low-income countries :(
      - When used irresponsibly, technology can instead distract students :green_cross:
        
        Research suggests that during class time, 42% of the time that students spend on their devices in the classroom are used to engage with social media/games rather than with the lesson
        
        This instead reduces learning rather than increasing student engagement :(
    - - Technology plays an essential role in delivering education outside of school :check:
        
        During the COVID-19 Pandemic, most countries mandated temporary school closures --> lead to the use of remote learning technologies
        
        Many countries deployed remote learning technologies using a combination of TV, Radio, Online and Mobile Platforms (such as Student Learning Space [SLS]), allowing students to learn from home.
      - Technology helps increase interest in learning :check:
        
        Learners become more engaged in their learning materials with the help of online websites and applications such as Kahoot and Mentimeter
        
        These interactive methods of teaching are able to cater to students with different learning styles, increasing quality of education
      - Technology provides both students and teachers with easy-to-access information :check:
        
        Websites on the internet are an easily accessible archive of information, as well as applications such as DuoLingo, which allows anyone to learn a new language
        
        This supports self-directed learning of students, and helps teachers who may lack content or certain knowledge.
- - - - Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources such as sunlight and wind. Modern environmental technology is able to capture this naturally occurring energy and convert it into other forms of energy through devices such as solar panels and wind turbines
        
        Has overtaken coal as the second largest generator of electricity, which reduces the negative impact of technology on the environment
      - Electric vehicles use energy stored in rechargeable batteries, and the electric motors they are propelled by do not produce carbon emissions
        
        This reduces environmental concerns such as air pollution, showing how technology can positively affect the environment
- - - - Detection and positioning systems
        
        The usage of robots, robotic devices, and drones can replace police officers in dangerous settings and situations. They are able to check out hazardous areas and diffuse bombs without jeopardising the safety of police officers. Flying drones are also able to provide a bird’s eye view and access hard-to-reach places, providing the criminal justice system with information on crime scenes
        
        Gunshot Detection Systems are often installed by the police in high-crime areas. These sensors detect the sound of gunfire in a particular area, and triangulate the location of the incident which is immediately sent to the police, enabling them to reach the scene quickly.
      - Databases and Information Exchange
        
        The computer database is another important tool in criminal justice systems. There is a huge range of database systems that deal with profiling and fingerprints. They can also handle DNA testing, hot spot analysis, and crime mapping. This enables faster information exchange between states and countries and allows law enforcement experts to better identify connections between events and people. Various biometric tools and image enhancement software are also widely used to identify criminals.
  - - - Allows cyber-dependent crime such as the creation and spread of malware. Information-stealing malware, such as banking Trojans, pose a significant threat, and network intrusions that result in unlawful access or disclosure of private data are growing in scale, with hundreds of millions of records compromised globally each year.
