A little Trip…

Ever since man’s foray into the world of science, technology has in one way or another become an integral part of man’s life. The way it has slowly crept into our lives, comforting it, making our everyday chores an exercise in ease and economy of movements, today, we simply cannot do without it. There was a time when children would sit on the ground sweating in the sun, this Gurukul system changed with the advent of electricity; classes began to be taken indoors with tube lights, fans/air conditioners lending a much pleasant ambience conducive to a child’s focus. In the olden times, teachers would often take children to theatres and movie halls to have them watch important documentaries and educational films or movies with a sound moral lesson to balance coursework with audio-video aids. Soon, radios and televisions began to make their appearances in the world of education.
