DANS GUARDIAN VALUES OUR EDUCATION

Cyberspace searching

Ever since education and formal principle of work is developed by man to correspond with all the incredible necessities demanded by modern day civilization, man has come up with tons of devices and sophisticated technology to answer this gigantic necessity. In line with this inventions are that of the Encyclopedias and incredible stacks of informative books collected for public utility. However, such things doesn’t answer a fraction of what the whole world requires when it comes to academic and work related matters.

However, one of the most incredible and phenomenal attributions of modern man to technology internet or cyberspace to correspond to our immediate demand for information. With all the marketing paraphernalia and telecommunication benefits present today. Cyberspace provides an infinite horizon of huge data form all other parts of the world together with all the telecommunication benefits used by everyone from toddlers to working people. As an ordinary student of this current period. I am involved in hundreds of academic research works and instant messaging that can only be found in cyberspace. Information from dinosaurs to machine guns stored from all parts of the world and tons of people seem to upload their products and information since internet marketing is cheap and can be made to function with immense ease as long as you are able to place input on your own section. Through this capability certain professors are already suggesting students to forward their paperwork through e-mail. I can also talk to people form the other side of the globe and get immediate responses. Other improvised technologies can be upgraded through the help of the internet and can enable somebody to view and talk to people from intense distances. I find this capability as a fantastic and very useful kind of way in getting connected to people we know. Certain events can also be recorded and then uploaded to Youtube that enables people all over the world to see and comment about it as well. Although, cyberspace enables everyone to use such technology, people have come up with certain formats that block certain sites and this somehow limits the full potential of cyberspace in certain contexts. This has been formulated in order to limit certain items that may seem to be disruptive to certain users.

With all these features given by cyberspace, I think that is a much of a very useful thing that can be manipulated by man in order fro it to function well. It has made schoolwork and work tasks a lot more easier for people.

I agree when you said that cyberspace gives us unlimited ideas easily. I mean there's no limit of ideas on the net and anything that we need to know is written there. But cyberspace makes us passive and lazy to the extent that we don't read books anymore, all we do is glance through articles on the net without allotting enough time for what we really have to do. Another is because you can play games using the net, we don't know how to play native games anymore, once in a while we should play such kinds of games and not just the modern ones so we could still be connected with the real life and not just with the virtual world. ;)

Yeah man I think we all know how powerful the internet is. I think one day it will be used for us to be brain captured and we are going to be controlled by a source of evilness. Well that is just one thing I can see if things get out of hand because the internet is really one source of powerful knowledge and power. Some people may take the internet for granted but if we want to maximize it then we can be very knowledgeable and be very smart because of this. There are also the different ways of using this bad way so this is still something very vulnerable to be handled with.
