d. Utilizing IT in education 
In the Communication Technology Book and Learning Information, (Hamzah, Nina: 
2014) it is suggested that rapid growth of technology, particularly the Internet, makes it possible 
to develop better information services in an educational institution. At the university's 
environment, another use of it is made possible by a system called electronic university (e- 
university). The development of the e-university aims to promote education, so that colleges 
can provide better information services to their communities, inside, and outside of the college 
via the Internet. Another educational service that can be implemented via the Internet means 
that by providing online lecture materials and these are accessible to anyone who needs them. 
The covid-19 pandemic that has emerged over the past two years has resulted in all 
activities that require online meetings. Education included. The study in the class was 
transferred to the zoom room or Google meet. Thus, the Internet makes it easier for students 
and teachers to receive and inform others of assignments, Deuteronomy, and so forth. One of 
the applications used to send out assignments is the e-learning application which also contains 
a teacher's assignment. 
And since most people do so at home, there are many applications presented to entertain 
learners, including a wattpad application that contains nonfiction literature. It is through one of 
these applications that the student performs a lengthy reading activity. It is of considerable 
interest to the student. Of the 12 students, there are 58.3% using wattpad. 
In Indonesia's academic education that has knowledge about the implications of it in 
education is that it is UI and ITB. Example, UI. Almost every faculty has access to a network 
that people can use, providing information that even those who have difficulty obtaining it 
because of space and space. It would also be very helpful for prospective students or students 
or even alumni to need information about tuition, curriculum, tutors, or many others. Another 
example is that Bina Nusantara's private university also has a highly developed Internet 
network, which makes it the most likely to get Indonesian academy of education award. 
Services provided on their website can be referenced with services provided by foreign 
educational sites such as the California institute of education, or the Virginia institute of 
education and so forth.

At a high school level of education, the implication has also begun, although it has not 
been able to withstand its implications on advanced education. At this high school, the average 
use of the Internet is just a supplement and it is not yet a primary curriculum taught for students. 
It has not been the primary media database for values, curriculum, students, teachers or 
otherwise, but the prospects for the future, the use of it in high school is pretty bright.

In an article Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi Dalam Bidang Pendidikan (E-
Education), it said that to harness information technology in the education process, there are 
some development steps to take as follows: 1) Designing and creating application databases, 
which store and process data and academic information, both the college system, the assessment 
system, curriculum information, education management, and learning materials; 2) Designing 
and creating bait-based learning applications, web, multimedia interactive, which are composed 
of tutorial applications and learning devices; 3) Optimizing TV use as enrichment materials in 
order to promote improved education; and 4) Implementing systems gradually from smaller 
ranges to wider, thus facilitating IT management in the process of education
Technology conditions the brain to pay attention to information very differently than 
reading. The metaphor that Nicholas Carr uses is the difference between scuba diving and jet 
skiing. Book reading is like scuba diving in which the diver is submerged in a quiet, visually 
restricted, slow-paced setting with few distractions and, as a result, is required to focus narrowly 
and think deeply on the limited information that is available to them. In contrast, using the 
internet is like jet skiing, in which the jet skier is skimming along the surface of the water at 
high speed, exposed to a broad vista, surrounded by many distractions, and only able to focus 
fleetingly on any one thing.
