"The ability to dive deep into the archives of all media to pull up relevant results the moment you need it". (1) Technology is always up to date and it does not cause a problem to find answers immediately and accurately.
Technology can be updated at a cost-effective price and done so very efficiently. "Print on the other hand, is literally bound to its medium". (2) A person can not do additional research regarding specific topic in a book. A person would be required to go to a computer. With technology, information can be obtained within seconds.
In the technology era, when something is put out on the internet, people are inspired to do research and do amazing things in the world.
