The Role of Technology in the World of Education

In modern times like now, humans are very dependent on technology. This makes technology a basic need for everyone. From parents to young people, experts to ordinary people also use technology in various aspects of life. Today's technology has developed rapidly.

Unlike the past, Technology is very influential in aspects of human life and plays a role in the life of the wider community, especially the role of technology in education. In education itself, technology now has its own role in the teaching and learning process.

The results of technology have long been used in education. The invention of paper, printing machines, radio, films, TV, computers and others was used for education. Basically these tools are not made specifically for educational purposes, but the tools turned out to be able to be used in the world of education.

The development of information technology that is increasingly rapid in the current era of globalization can not be avoided anymore influence on the world of education. The global demand demands the world of education to always and constantly adjust technological developments to efforts in improving the quality of education, especially adjusting the use of information and communication technology for the world of education, especially in the learning process.

According to H. Hamzah B. Uno and Hj. Nina Lamatenggo, (2011, 61) in Budiman (2017). Said that the education trends in Indonesia in the future are as follows:

1. Development of open education with distance learning mode (distance learing). Then to carry out open and distance education needs to be included as the main strategy;

2.Shareng shared resources between educational / training institutions in a library network and other educational instruments (teachers, laboratories) change function to become a source of information rather than just a bookshelf;

3. The use of interactive information technology devices, such as multimedia CD-ROMs in education, has gradually replaced television and video. With the development of technology and information in the world of education, at that time it was possible to hold distance learning by using internet media to connect between students and lecturers, see student grades online, check finances, view lecture schedules, send assignment files given lecturers and so on.

The change in demands is what makes the world of education require innovation and creativity in the learning process because many people propose in education, especially learning, but very few people talk about problem solving solutions about the learning and teaching processes that are in accordance with the global demands of the 21st century today.
