Is technology improving education of students?

Recently I have read an article highlighting 8 reasons as why technology is improving education. There 8 reasons included –
Better simulation and models
Global learning
Virtual Manipulatives
Probes and Sensors
More efficient assessment
Story telling and multimedia
E – books
Epistemic games.

The main reasons of this article that I really agreed with were global learning and better simulation and models. When it comes to global learning, technology allows students to reach out and learn about everything they possibly could want to know about. To me this is important for students to have endless amounts of information to fill their minds with so much knowledge.
Simulation and models I believe help teachers to better explain so much information to students that simply cannot be explained as well without technology. This includes sounds and vibrations.
