    This chapter reviews related literature and studies on technology dependency that were used to conceptualize the researchers' study. A number of studies from various perspectives have been published on the pervasive growth of technology in recent years. Both the positive and negative effects of technology on people's lives are discussed in the literature. Studies show that today's classrooms are equipped with the latest technology to enhance instruction, and that providing computers to schools increases students' and teachers' technology skills in both developed and developing nations. However, simply replacing teachers with computer-based instruction typically yields no learning benefits - blending technology with instruction leads to higher student engagement and learning gains.

    CHAPTER 2

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

    This chapter presents a review of related literature and study which were used

    bythe researchers as a frame of technology dependency in conceptualizing their study. Dueto

    the pervasive growth of technology over the years, a number of pertinent studies andwritings

    from various points of view have been published.The positive and negative effectbetween the

    cited studies and researcher’s proposed study are discussed briefly at theend of discussion.On

    GadgetTech Crates (2012), one cannot even dare to imagine life without smart phones,cell

    phones, laptops, tablets, iPods and so on because today’s gadgets are one of the ways to make

    life more comfortable and easier CHAPTER. Shy (2010) says that no one can denythe fact

    that gadgets have not only simplified the lives of people but also made them more and

    luxurious. Indeed, these gadgets really made a huge impact in people’s lives and became part

    of it

    Today’s classrooms are equipped with the latest technology to

    enhanceinstruction (Gammuac, 2013). Technology users are moving towards being

    moremobile, and teachers and students are a significant part of that trend. On 2013,

    Lenovo,the world’s top PC vendor reported that they sold more smartphones and tablets

    thanPCs for the first time ever.Whether a student is listening to his own music whilestudying,

    or a teacher is playing an audio book to her students, mp3 players are anincreasingly common

    sight in schools. Both teachers and students can make full use ofmp3 players in their school

    activities (Gammuac, 2013).Zucker& Light (2009), providing computers to schools increases

    the technologyskills of teachers and students in both the developed and the developing world.

    Laptopprograms increase students’ engagement with academic work and school,

    improvetechnology skills, and have positive effects on students’ writing. Research in


    manynations suggests that laptop programs will be most successful as part of

    comprehensiveinitiatives that also address changes in education goals, curricula, teacher

    training, andassessment. An analysis of effective technology use for at-risk students found

    that simplyreplacing teachers with computer-based instruction typically yields no learning

    benefits.Rather, blending leads to higher engagement and learning gains (Darling-Hammond

    etal., 2014).Gross (2009), people are very frequent in use of media and modern

    technologiesin communication at home or at work and feel hard to survive in the absence of

    modern means of communications. Clegg and Bailey (2008) assert that with the utilization of

    mobile devices such aslaptops and tablet computers, the learning process for the students

    become more funand conducive due to the user-interactivity and appealing visuals present in

    theselearning tools.

    K-12 curriculum that the government eyes the use of tablet computers in

    publicschools in lieu of traditional textbooks (Enterprise Innovation, 2012). With thepresence

    of laptops in the classrooms, students become more engaged and involved inschool-related

    activities (Oquias, 2011)
