Introduction
Human values are the most essential parts for our survival. However, in this age of modern technology, the human values have lost their grounds and are about to vanish into the glamour of modernisation. It marked a considerable inverse relationship between human values and the modern technological education. As the technology advances, the emotions of human beings are about to be vanished. Humanitarian behaviours and human values have been remarkably deteriorated by the radical change brought in the field of education with the technological advancement
Human Values: Their significance
Human values generate abstract feelings necessary for a lively living. Love, mercy, care, affection, simplicity, honesty, understanding, sharing the pain, helping tendency and happiness, etc. are the common human feelings bear great value and are the fundamental factors to judge humanity as well as differentiate them from brutal nature and attitude. The memory of our childhood tells us the importance of the moral stories from the Panchatantra, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and many other epics and ethics. However, in the advanced civilisation influenced by globalisation we have failed to implement our childhood knowledge into our practical life.
Impact of Technology on Educational System
Materialistic Gain
As the technologies developed, the course of the education system has been furthered and it was beyond the knowledge of our ancestors. Our great scholars and philosophers have no materialistic certified degrees which are considered the standard of education and intelligence. We are abounding in certificates, gadgets, applications and appliances which have immense materialistic importance in recent times. The technological advancement is responsible for the diseases assumed today for the lack of physical work.
Gurukul
Education system in the Gurukul period was different. Then pupils used to learn from their gurus and the teachers or Gurus were respected next to God. The pupils had to leave their homes and used to stay at the Gurukul. They grasped the teachings and preaching on human values which were important and relevant to their customs and traditions. In this period, human values were adopted in the educational system.
Schooling
With the passage of time, there came the period of schooling. The children used to attend their smotional values. This distracted their focus on their studies. In this period, the skill chools from home. The parents supervised their children and give some sort of eof writing was initiated. The learning aptitude just by dint of listening began to diminish.
University and Graduation
This was the further advancement in the field of education. The advanced skills of practical learning through laboratories were introduced in the age of computers. The University education gave more freedom to the children and the hold of parents started getting loosened up. This advancement paved way to over socialisation, westernisation and intermixing of the genders under the friendly ambience. As consequences, the world has seen a remarkable increase in the crime index especially in respect to the safety for women
Multiple Degrees
The higher studies have created a strong sense of ego among the youngsters and this ego has made them feel superior to all others in respect of their knowledge and intelligence which in turn has made them lose their sense of respect to their elders as well as their knowledge and skills.
Internet Age
The age of latest technology is marked as the cyber age. Now, we have fully airconditioned institutions. The soul focus is on the outward beauty, extra-curricular activities and the physical comfort. Education has the least value in these educational institutions. Internet has brought lots of teachings to the latest generation. They can understand and grasp all the wanted as well as unwanted, and even malevolent contents at their age. The mental setup gets adulterated. This generation wants quick and easy access available for prompt success at every cost. They cannot trace any loss in terms of the loss of their human values. They feel the importance of wealth and materialistic things throughout their life.
Negative Impacts of Technological Advancement
The impacts are as follows:
i. Man-made things have everything except emotional values.
ii. Values, patience as well as tolerance have deteriorated.
iii. This generation fails to apply their knowledge and value success happily and respectfully in spite of their sufficient knowledge.
iv. Rat race for the top position has greatly created pressure on children.
v. Increases greed of more wealth.
vi. The gadgets, the gift of science, divert our attention and snatch our invaluable time from our loved ones. So, they are in reality a curse for the human beings.
vii. Dissatisfaction, mercilessness, is common among younger generation.
viii. Man has ambition to explore the moon but don’t have the heart to help or serve his neighbours as well as fellow humans.
ix. Above all, this education system has encouraged the growth of violence and terrorism.
Conclusion
The modern technological education appears to be Devilish in nature. However, modern technological education is undoubtedly a precious gift; still it is the civilised production of the brutality. This education has also resulted in modern violence, terrorism, and a total malfunctioning status of law and order in the country. The human emotions have been deteriorated by the introduction of various subjects of study at each level of educational system. It has also affected the humanitarian grounds to further a level down. Frankly speaking, the modern technological education calls for the rectification as well as modification of their background in order to cultivate the human values as a compulsory subject of teachings
