Personally, I use technology for learning all the time, especially language apps and video tutorials when I study on my own. It is super convenient because I can learn at my own pace whenever I have free time.
However, I don't think technology can ever completely replace human teachers. Teachers do so much more than just share information. They encourage students, answer unique questions, and build real personal connections that keep us motivated. A screen just can't give you emotional support or notice when a student is struggling or feeling frustrated.
So, looking ahead to the future, I think classrooms will definitely rely more on advanced tech tools, but human teachers will remain essential to guide, support, and inspire us.
