India
is an emerging economy investing in computerization and broadband for
rapid and balancedeconomic development. The Indian government has
embarked on large egovernance programs and enablers like the Unique ID
program (UID) which provides a unique biometric based ID for all Indian
residents. The private sector has begun using ecommerce and the IT
industry has established India as a leading destination for IT services.
Grooming our children in computeruse is a well recognized essential. Today’s generation is a technology savvy one. It is quite common to observe young children surfing and gaming on the Internet. Most children do notrealize what a pre-computer era was.
Grooming our children in computeruse is a well recognized essential. Today’s generation is a technology savvy one. It is quite common to observe young children surfing and gaming on the Internet. Most children do notrealize what a pre-computer era was.
But
the impetus on cyber education to ensure use of the Internet in a
responsible, safe andsecure manner is lacking in educational
curriculums. The onus on cyber education is largely placed on the Indian
parent who may not be familiar with computers or the Internet. This
generation gap does not make them good teachers with proud or technology
unsavvy parents allowing their children liberties with simple
restrictions on Internet time and stricter parents forbidding their
children altogether.
It is not practical to shield this generation from the use of the Internet. Children find ways through phone or computer, via afriend’s home and so forth. Children by nature love to play pranks. Knowingly or unknowingly they can indulge in a variety of pranks from bullying, obscenity, hoaxes and hacking. Some fall victim to online criminals and pedophiles. Some play pranks which economically affect the nation and its institutions like therecent case of a prankster callerphoning a Mumbai college to say that a bomb had been planted onthe premises. 300 girl students were evacuated minutes after they started their exam
At the same time, it is not advisable to allow children the use the Internet without instruction. The middle path lies ina system of cyber education to prepare our citizens as netizens in cyber ethics and the safe and responsible use of the Internet. Inmy opinion, cyber education should be taught by schools as many parents are yet unfamiliar with the Internet. Such a programshould be endorsed by the education ministry, be a part of the ongoing IT curriculum, and include comprehensive training of school teachers across the country. Perhaps a national children cyber safety day in schools may help increase awareness............
