How many times in your school days you have written an essay on "Science & Technology: Boon or Curse?". Even not only in school, we see so many articles touching this topic in news papers and magazines.
Today i went thru the news that Internet Access in all IITB hostels, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students academic performance, making them reclusive and even suicidal. So its stands barred for a whole 12 hours!! Strange but true. How many of you will agree with me that in most of the cases of decline in academic performances, net facility has been a major factor, and this is true across i think all IIT's. We waste quite a lot of time on orkut and other similar sites. People have been so busy playing computer games that they don't have time for physical activities. People want to acquire skills of driving in a virtual circuits or killing villagers using eagle warriors, over other outdoor games.
It's an open debate which can never be convincing for the discussion to settle. But i think this is a positive move by the IITB administration so that people start socializing again. Hell not on orkut but in the real world. What's your say?
