What exactly is the question

Answer 1

In this twenty first century many things have changed from its traditional base. This is an essay written by me to inform readers about whether this sort of essay writing has lost its relevance with the introduction of new form of educational media. Writting and reading essay has been a source of information for many years. From ancient time essay and any other kind of hand written manuscripts has been the only source of information about the time, the historical, geographical and political relevance of the mentioned time.

Essays play a major role in educational purposes too. Starting from the ancient time all the manuscripts were handwritten and coming to the recent times all the books either in paper format or in digital format, they all are in form of essay. In past time the only source of knowledge were the handwritten manuscripts. With the progress of science a new invention arrived in form of printing machine. After that all the books and manucripts were started to be made in printed form. This made the books easy to read and understand. As the books were binded properly, those could be kept for many years. Hence with the advent of printing machines, the practice of making handwritten manuscripts were nearly abolished.

Now coming to the presnt time we have progressed a long path in scientific innovations. Science has made our everyday life more easy and more agile. We have become busy in our everyday work. hence we can hardly take time to read books. Scientific research says that our visible memory is more sharp and prominent than our audible memory. When we see something, it stays in our mind for more time than when we hear or read something. Hence with the innovation of new technologies education has been made more interactive and entertainment basd than the orthodox ones. In new system of education students are taught with several videos and animations rather than making them bound to read books. This makes the students have fun while learning and they are able to understand and keep the knowledge in their mind for more time. There are many applications available in the internet with which one can easily learn something at home comfort in their mobile or computer. Many schools have introduced online classes by which students can attain classes from their home without going toi school. This is very useful in this pandemic situation.

Internet is a very familier word to all of in this twenty first century. With the use of internet we can easily learn many things by watching videos, reading blogs, reading online news and watching them etc. We can access any knowledge base all around the world from our home with just a click. One can also avail many online degrees from universities all over the world. It makes people able to increase their educational degree while doing a job. All the classes and study materials of these online courses are sent online to the student. They also can availe to clear their doubts and consult with the teachers online. This is certainly provides a good convenience to the students.

Introduction of new educational system certainly has made education system more convenient and easy to achieve. But one cannot say that the introduction of this new education system has made the old system of books and esssay reading irrelevant. It is said that a book is the best friend of a person. The new education system may have many good sides but it has evil sides too. Over indulgence in online education may damage human life as a whole. The ray reflected from the online devices may damage brain tissues of children and older people if they are used intensively. On the other hand over indulgence in online education may make people lazy and not willing to socialize themselves. This can affect the society as a whole and it can affect the person psychologically. Hence there is always need for good books.

Hence we may conclude that the new educational media has certainly made the education more available and more easy to learn, but it cannot make the essay or book irrelevant. There is always a requirement for good essay and book.
