Information Technology Is Here To Stay

Everything involves a little bit of technology nowadays. It ranges from the use of a simple calculator to the intranets of a complex network of computers to the sharing of information across the WWW. Are we able to say no to Information Technology? If we cannot, should we start teaching our children from an early age? We should advocate them to learn how to use the PC and serve the internet rather than focusing time on useless beginner level subjects such as Science, when after knowing how to serve the internet, Science can be more easily explored and learned. (Please take note that Science is a vast subject and that nobody will be able to know everything in the world.)

In fact, is there a need for the children to learn Science at a young age? What good does knowing the fact that an egg needs about 21 days to hatch to become a chick, do to the child in terms of earning a living in the future? (Does that mean that knowing the fact, the child will be very interested and become a zoologist or something?) Wouldn’t it be more applicable by teaching the kid how to serve the internet for information? Then the kid can serve the net to find out whatever he or she is interested in.

I strongly encourage that a young child should know how to serve the internet as soon as they know how to switch on and off the computer properly. With the wide exposure of the internet, be it good or bad, the child will be able to learn at a faster pace and hence fend for him or herself.
