The unknown can be scary, and as technology continues to rapidly evolve, it\u2019s taking us into some uncharted territory. But it\u2019s also improving the way we live, learn and impact our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From our health to our homes, here are five ways tech is shaping our world for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In today\u2019s diverse classrooms, teaching to the middle can do students a great disservice. It\u2019s one reason personalised education is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To more effectively meet the needs of students with different backgrounds, cultures, interests and skills, teachers are leaning on technology to help refocus their energy and attention on what they do best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nBut it\u2019s not about replacing teachers with tech. It\u2019s about reducing the time they spend on administrative tasks, so they can have more capacity for relationship building with their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With daily tasks like grading, attendance-taking and test-creating off their plate, educators can think critically about which learning tools and education technology gives students more meaningful experiences with the curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Technology also helps teachers provide students with their individuated attention and empower them to become an active partner in their own learning. Instructors that spend less time teaching by the book can concentrate on developing student\u2019s social-emotional skills and helping them gain access to plentiful content that best captivates their individual interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nGroundbreaking health advancements<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Technology has made all variety of remote work possible, even healthcare professions that used to rely exclusively on in-person interactions. Now, 5G is taking things to a whole new level, providing medical professionals with a hands-off approach for the first time ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, the first successful remote surgery<\/a> took place over a distance of 1,900 miles. And while surgical procedures are rarely considered simple, conducting brain surgery from halfway around the world would have been unfathomable just a short time ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nBut thanks to a substantial latency reduction, 5G networks make it possible for devices to instantly communicate over great distances. Suddenly, the potentially fatal two-second lag time that used to exist for medical devices on a regular wireless network has now been compressed into an almost imperceivable two milliseconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This evolved technology could ultimately enable specialists all over the world to confer and treat a patient simultaneously. 5G will likely also provide patients in remote areas more options for care and may reduce surgery costs over the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coupled with advances in artificial intelligence, medical technology is harnessing its ability to diagnose early and treat more accurately, improving our overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nLivable smart cities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
What if your neighbourhood could automatically monitor and adjust the air quality and noise pollution while using subterraneous robots to deliver the mail and hail you a self-driving electric car?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
