We live in an age of technology. We cannot imagine a day or two without access to internet. In every walk of life, technology has become indispensable. Right from paying electricity bills to checking the status of our bank accounts, we are dependent on technology. Manifestly, the advancements in technology have rendered the world digital. Our Prime Minister launched ‘Digital India’ campaign in several states. As a consequence, students are doing away with their books and only a few are learning a lot from the websites. Scientists are working in the right direction to make ‘Internet of Things’ a virtual reality. In addition, to all intents and purposes, 5G shall replace the present day 4G.
The year 2015 is considered to the hallmark year for trends in mobile technology too. The gadgets and widgets have become all the more popular. On an average, every student is believed to own a gadget. In light of such circumstances, students are not judiciously utilizing their time. More often than not, you see them on social networking sites such as Facebook, twitter and Instagram. They ‘like’ and ‘comment’ on the pictures and topics of their interests. The smart phones have not enhanced the level of smartness in students. If time and technology were to be judiciously employed and attention to various activities not allowed to spill over, there would be a greater measure of competence and consequent prosperity as a whole, as also a happier and healthier population.
Here is a list of 10 helpful websites for college students:

TED-Ed: This is a novel initiative of “Lessons worth sharing” is the motto of this initiative
My favorite show is the one that portrayed the life of Helen Keller. I still remember the documentary where Helen Keller said, “Keep your face in the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.” This website reveals the bitter truths of life and motivates us by delving into the details of highly successful people. There is little purpose in treating friends to tales of our former glory, howsoever true. In the last resort, we are judged by our current position in society, and if it is not as good as we should like it to be, there is no point in making excuses for it by describing the apocryphal days of our past. However, there is every purpose in learning from the great. To learn from the great, TED-Ed is your best bet.
