The Cyber Network

Predators, Mediators or Benefactors

A human being, the most superior being on the planet, racked his brain and invented the mechanicalbrain, but who is the master and who is the slave?

Are we, who are supposed to be controlling the machine, being controlled by the machine?

Good question, isn’t it? The answer lies with us as well.

Technology will inevitably serve the needs of everyone once it is ultimately integrated into all aspects of this dynamic and new culture,

but how prepared are we to face this bare truth, which is gradually monopolizing the future?

Are we, or are we not, preparing ourselves and our children for this technological take-over?

The human brain versus the mechanical brain.

The creation of genius minds is taking the world into the unknown beyond.

Whatever is said and done, we must accept it while remaining within the boundaries so as not to go overboard.

All aspects have their own Pros and Cons, Dos & Don’ts, Yes & Nos. This is where the role of irresponsible adults features.

Are we, who are of the Pre-Google age, capable of advising the current generation in the Post-Google age? Learn if we must, because these are our children on the fast track!

These are children born into the cyber-world. It sounds exquisite and fantastic, isn’t it?

All good, but as adults, we need to take heed and intervene in the right manner to ensure the adherence to netiquette, or Internet Etiquette.

Children, who are our future and for whom we are paving the way, must be kept e-safe, which is the need of the hour! Each and every child is a very special somebody for whom the unknown future is waiting with wide open arms to embrace them. We love to see them happy and safe and not go astray.

They're tech savvy and always on trend!We are inching closer to being the cybernauts of the future.

On hearing the word "cyber," it gives us the jitiers. We are witnesses to these children falling prey to falling.

prey and becoming glued to FB, Insta, and Twitier. Flashy though it looks, with promises and fantasies of all kinds, if not cautious and controlled, it can be contagious, voracious and obsessive. Tread on the net with care or else the consequences will be a dire scare.A click here and a click there, that’s where the danger lies. A check here and a check there. That’s where the harness fortifies.

With the pandemic spreading like wildfire around the globe, at the end of the year 2020, e-learning emerged. This brought on the compulsion of children having to compulsorily pick up the art of technology, right from the 3-year-olds to the oldest of learners. That was a tough span of time indeed! With the pandemic brought under control, campus classes have resumed.

This puts a question in front of the whole world; are we taking a U-turn in the educational field where technological progress is concerned? The answer can be both "Yes" and "No. Yes

Because all the students are back, seated inside the classroom with the teacher delivering the lessons. No, because the classes have been upgraded with the latest technological aspects for lesson delivery

Whatever "IT" is, and whatever is said and done, when "IT" is used cautiously, in the right manner, in the right proportion, the result will be amazing.

Let "IT" not control us; on the contrary, let "IT" be under our control. What is this "IT"? That's a good question, but the answer is obvious: information technology! Infrmation is right at the fingertips of every individual.

So, take heart, for it is the need of the hour to ensure that we plant the seed of caution in our current generation, who are the vulnerable prey of the future.

Now it is for us to decide whether the cybernetwork is considered as' predators, mediators or 'benefactors’.
