power of the digital revolution
01, 8.1.2016
Notwithstanding the awesome power of the digital revolution, there is an urgent need to revive the habit of book reading. Deep reading is not restricted to text or digital reading. You need paper and plasma together to create a bi-lateral brain.
The digital page helps in surfing - accessing knowledge, concepts and ideas. The paper page helps the reader to dig down and reflect.
The revival of the book reading habit depends solely on the teacher. She must inspire the children to read, to think, to critique, and to apply the concepts in our lives.
(This is the essence of the message brought to newly elected Leaders of The Indus Student Council at Bangalore, by Lt. Gen. Arjun Ray (Retd.), CEO of the Indus Trust on the occasion of The Ceremony of Investiture on January 26th, 2012)
