This is of huge assistance to them in terms of helping them with their studies.

Technology has enabled students to access many revision facilities from past papers to notes and so it provides them with something to do in their personal time.

Technology has allowed parents to receive important information from the school such as school closures and open evenings which affects a parents personal life as they may need to organise their time. It provides them with essential information with notice giving them time to sort things out.
- The advances in technology have enabled information to be recorded more securely without getting lost e.g. eportal.

This improves a teacher's personal life as they can quickly and easily get things done so they have more time to themselves.
