Technology is responsible for producing men who work like machines and machines to work like men.

Education plays a vital role in everyone's life. Do we have a remedy for heart blockages today? Yes, we do. Are we fighting against diseases like Cancer which were supposed to be incurable a few decades ago? Yes, we have put up a good fight against it. Are we protecting the world against future calamities by predicting them before hand? Yes, upto an extent, we are. How all these things are even possible? There were scientists, researchers behind all of it! And how exactly are we saying that we are developing? All of these questions lead us to the root of one answer i.e. Education.

Primary education gives us knowledge about all the things in brief which we can study later in depth. I feel that education plays a pivotal role in everyone's career and hence life. All the things that we learn in school help us understand our surroundings better. They give us an idea about how things function and what is the reason behind any phenomenon that occurs in nature. Do we know today why the color of sky is blue? Yes, we do because it has been a part of our primary curriculum. It is better any given time of day to know why exactly a things functions like this instead of blindly feeding that into your brain. Once you know why a thing functions in a certain way you would no longer need to memorize it.

There are millions of people around us who are fighting against many such problems this world is facing. We call them scientist. So how these scientists have reached upto a level where they're thinking about solving problems the whole world is facing; while on the other hand how some of the underpriviledged people in most of the countries can't even think about managing their family problems? Again, I would say that the answer leads us to the root cause which is education! If these unfortunately wretched people would have gotten a proper education then they would have had a respectable job right now and even they would have been in a state to contribute their share in our developement.

Education is behind producing machines and yes these machines as we refer to it by "technology" is making us dependent. We rely on technology for simple tasks which we can do otherwise like making use of calculator to find out what's the answer of 16*13. This is a fairly easy problem I am talking about. Technology is making us dependent more and more and yes, we need to restrict ourselves from being completely dependent but we cannot hold this against Education. If we decide to make a list of useful vs. not-so-useful innovations over the last decade then I am sure that our list would have a plethora of innovations in the "useful" side.

Just like every coin has two sides we can say education is no exception. Its upto us as to which side to choose. When I look at the problems which we have tackled with the help of education I don't see that we are making misuse of education all the time. Education has been behind all the innovations and research that has lead us all into a developed surrounding. If we stick by our side and keep on making good use of education then I am sure the dream of every country to live in a uniform and peaceful world is not so far away.
