This sector has become an educational priority and all EU countries are striving to develop ICT skills. Technology is part of the world we live in. Most jobs today require the use of technology. For this reason, the focus is on developing a set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, necessary for access to the labor market, social inclusion, personal development and lifelong learning. The knowledge society has imposed the use of ICT as a necessary condition for the integration of the individual in the labor market and in society. The present paper attempts to provide an overview of the impact that technology has on pupils and teachers in Romanian schools.
