Communication

Hi!
One of the most difficult things in the world is to transfer knowledge from one mind to another. If by any chance you think that this transfer is eased in case the minds in question are of different age, then you are in for big surprise. Language is the most imperfect thing that the man has ever created. No matter, how much care we take, it goes wrong some what some where.

In the recent past, there has been lot of technological advancements regarding the communication ranging from wired to wireless, from instant to indirect from personal to grouped. All the forms of communications try to convey what is ought to be understood. These all tools of communications are being utilized in the education. As these gadgets and technical acumen are developing, the role of teacher is changing. As the reach of these equipments and technology is increasing, teachers are becoming presenters rather than cognitive process leaders.

Once upon a time, teachers were expected to build the character but today we expect our teacher as the helpers for clearing thresholds. Teachers were once considered as epitome of knowledge; today our teachers are epitome of money minting process….

It is not that, I am unhappy the way it is figuring out, but still, I want to have more of moral education be given as much importance as physics, chemistry, accountancy………….. It would make still make sense to have an illiterate person not knowing what does “first aid” mean, rather than having a highly literate person knowing latest methods of making bombs.
