Current technology use within a college classroom learning environment may include items like Microsoft’s Power Point, E-mail, course web sites, multimedia, animation etc. However the technology readiness is the important thing of the success of business students. Technological Readiness is a well-established constructs that conceptualized by Parasuraman (2000). This construct consist of four dimensions: (1) optimism, (2) innovativeness, (3) discomfort (4) insecurity. The four dimensions are relatively independent of each other, therefore an individual could harbor both contributor and inhibitor feelings towards technology. The aim of this research is to explore the relationship between technological readiness constructs and the demographics variables of business college students in Surabaya who majoring in accounting and management field. Another aim of this research is to know the level of technological readiness in STIE Perbanas College. For the measurement we use 32 items technology readiness index presented by Parasuraman. The demographic variables used in this study included: gender, field of study, and the status of high school. We conduct an independent sample t-test to explore the differences between the demographic variable with the respects of technology readiness. The result is that there are no differences on technology readiness of business students with the respect of demographic variables. Based on the demographic variable : gender, field of study and senior high school, The technological readiness among the student is not different. Limitation and Implications for the development of the implementation of technology in teaching and learning are provided also the suggestion of future research.
