Technology

Technology is everywhere. We are surrounded by Technology – from the time we open our eyes in the morning to the time we close our eyes at night to sleep. We are always using different sorts of technologies, knowingly or unknowingly.

Technologies have been developing from the past centuries and have made the lives of human beings easier, more comfortable and also increased the life-span. Compare the life of primitive human being, and present, modern-day humans. Only our physiological form remains the same but nothing remains the same, due to our adoption of technological advancement.

-------------------

The present state of technological advancement in scientific world had reached to a very high level. For instance, we are in the age of Nano-Technology, and Artificial Intelligence (or AI). Furthermore, there are millions of students and researchers, all over the world, doing research and trying to discover still more things – in science and technology fields. When these scientists discover some small new things, - they are put together and we finally get a newer, more advanced product. The best example is a Smart phone, with a touch-screen, internet, powerful camera and many more features. This is innovated only within 10 to 15 years.

Actually the Scientists are racing to become the first to make discoveries. Becoming the second is not as meaningful as becoming the first. Thus to become the first, they must study and master vast amounts of knowledge. And to gain these vast amounts of knowledge, they must start as quickly as possible. Because this is a race. So to acquire new knowledge, all students must start early in their lives.

I think, people when they are in their early years, must be given the opportunity to be acquainted to the present-day Technology. The young children when allowed to use the technology, can then develop their interest of finding out how those technology was developed and how it can be made more efficient. So, to develop their real interests, from the start of their early life, they must be given the opportunity to understand that technology. Otherwise, as you can imagine, they will be left behind...  

One of my favorite theoretical physicist is Professor Michio Kaku – who developed his profound interest in physics from his teenage years – performing various experiments in his own garage. Not to mention the least, we in our DAV School, are given the opportunity to develop interest in the world of Electrical Technology – in our IT Class – where we can “play and learn” about the magic of electrical logic circuits, with the use of registers, capacitors, transistors, LEDs, ICs and the many more.

I am sure, I have made my point and you are all with me.

Thank you very much.
