TECHNOLOGY TURNING INTO FACTORIES Technology is only there at your doorstep to provide you with information but not to educate you
Technology, a friend or a foe ? some people see it as a friend as they use it in every sphere of life , but some see it as a foe and go against it . We learn to use technology and technology teaches us to do things , the question is who is more dependent? Is that the only way to learn or is technology the only window to the rest of the world? Technology cannot be the only way into the wilderness of knowledge because with or without technology we as individual personalities are continuously learning . We learn from the nature , we learn from our environment , we learn from people ,even our six senses play a big role in teaching , everything we see , everything we do teaches us something . I am going to tell you about this girl who has been taught everything online since she was born in 1990 till she was an undergrad. Today she is an undergrad and has 10000 friends on her Facebook account . WOW! 10000 friends , its physically impossible for an individual to maintain relations with exorbitant number of friends like her’s . Do I say she is lucky? Even after four years of my Facebook account , I only have 700 friends , and they are a pain to keep in touch with . Will I ever reach the figure of 10000 friends? or does that mean I have no value for my 700 friends . The 10000 friends she has are all away from her , she has never seen most of them , she has never felt
what they have felt , she has neither spoken to them nor heard their voice . She doesn't know what its like to sit with them and share sorrows or euphoria . She is an undergrad through online teaching , thats not something substantial. She has only learned what is already present in the internet and what is already known to the world , but what is not known is what your mind makes you think when a human interface forces you to think beyond what is available . Imagine yourself sitting in front of a screen the whole day learning about things which already exist . In the coming future the main criteria for education will be research and create new things, rather than looking back at things which are already witnessed and invented Technology is only there at your doorstep to provide you with information but not to educate you RATIONALE 1. My feature article is talking about the girl who has completed undergrad using an online curriculum. I criticised by saying that internet is not the only way in which a person can be educated . What we do in our day to day life , we learn something . 2. I spoke about how internet provided you with things that are already present and discovered , people are not using their creativity to find out what is unknown 3. I used bias techniques like omission , I omitted the pros of using technology and concentrated more on the cons . I used spin , because my feature talks only about how internet or online activities are preventing us to think out of the box and is keeping our minds confined to things what are already known. 4. My conspiracy is that internet has confined and limited people so much that they themselves restrict to think beyond what is in front of them and chose an easy way of looking it up in the interner
