CAN INTERNET REPLACE A TEACHER?
Maatr devo bhava
pitr devo bhava
Aacharya devo bhava
INTERNETAAY devo bhava...(A saying in Sanskrit)
Seems wierd !!but true!!
Today in this ever shrinking world , internet has become the TOP priority of the people just because of its huge knowledge bank. Today, each and every work of our is incomplete without the use of internet..Be it banking ,technology ,export-import or anything. It has become an integral part of our lives. Experts do even say that one day might come when children need not go to schools to study, they will only gain knowledge sitting infront of their PC and logging into internet.
WOW!! What a wonderful dream!! No books! No schools!! No teachers!! No homework!! Just sitting infront of a PC and learning. But do you think that an internet can take place of your teacher??
Long ago when printing press was invented, same question striked that CAN BOOKS REPLACE A TEACHER? and the results can be seen today. Similerly ,an internet can never take place of a teacher.
A student teacher bond is a bond of OWE ,AFFECTION AND RESPECT. A teacher is a one who inspires her students to achieve more and more in life.She is teh one who gives us Moral values ,Spiritual trainings and prepares a child to tackle difficulties. You must have heard of the quote that says "A teacher is teh SECOND Parent!!". And hence,a teacher is a one who sees her victory in her teacher's success.
Can Internet ever make these kind of bonds with humans??..No it cant. An Internet can only provide us theoricable knowledge whereas a teacher is a one who give us applicable and practical knowledge.
Moreover ,there are many such temptations like Corrupted sites ,games ,music etc that are good enough to break one's concentration towards study. Hence to conclude, I would like to say that the place of a teacher in a student's life is stationary and nothing like internet can take its place.....
