Television is nice thing to educate people

[suntrack2]

In the remote areas of world, tv found the best as far as remote education is concern, but when I have seen the lectures on the television of a particular university under a research program, the period was too limited, there is no still special chanels on the television who can show or give the lectures or discussion 24 hours, yet, if so, is there any information?

In case of such thing happens if 24 hours (round the clock) the education is being given through this impressive tool then there will not be any matter of literacy in the world will rest.

what do you think?

today people want cheaper and simple and job oriented education to win the bread!

The problem is that broadcast TV requires companies to invest in purchasing airwave frequencies, setting up towers, purchasing programming, etc. It's a huge investment. And I don't think there'd be a lot of revenue coming in from advertisers for such a system, so you'd have to go government funded (which isn't likely to happen).

Television broadcasting technology could be terrific at educating people. But, honestly, I think the TV system as we know it is only good at educating people to be well-behaved customers (as well as spreading misconceptions, manipulating the masses, and so on). I see no virtue in TV (except for an occasional BBC show).

thanks kesh and argos for your precious replies, if some one want a health oriented information and if he is studying in bachelor of medicine, and for the sake of guidance he can't go to the library the television programs must itself can teach the query if that student raising from his home for this purpose the tv chanel can provide a phone number of cell number to get contact with them and ask the query, in short the television will act as "inter connected voice recording system (IVRS system) who can run on the queries asked, the cd in that tv chanel will give the answer and broadcost the information immediately. But it requires more experiments and techniques though.

Put it all on Youtube or equivalent. That way you could call up any class, any discipline, any time. All you need is a way to request and recieve the information.

Wireless internet access is probably a better bet: more flexible and (I would think) less equipment.

I do. For one, despite what a lot of people seem to think, entertaining people is a virtue. One that can be offset, of course--I do think entertaining people by insulting their intelligence is a bad thing--but even leaving that out, there's still a lot of informative programming in the US, at least. For one, there's PBS. For another, there's The Daily Show and The Colbert Report--funny, yes, but still informative and at least as reliable as a lot of other news shows. And while I admit about half of The History Channel, the Discovery Channel, etc., is bogus these days, there is still the other half.

It's very fashionable to say how grateful one is to have thrown out one's television in 1972 or whatever, but the fact remains that, while I agree it would not be a feasible system for truly educating the masses, it's still a worthwhile institution, more or less. The reason less-intelligent programming generally beats out more-intelligent programming is at least in part because fewer people watch more-intelligent programming, and I think that's been true for decades.

"For one, there's PBS. For another, there's The Daily Show and The Colbert Report--funny, yes, but still informative and at least as reliable as a lot of other news shows."

I can support that statement, not like you intended, but I still support it.

wireless internet access is a good idea, toseek, but it is costly to keep through the broadband, the rates are vary, the dial up connection is cheaper than the broadband, but in dial up you will not get a sumptuous speed to work on.

In the remote areas of world, tv found the best as far as remote education i...there is no still special chanels on the television who can show or give the lectures or discussion 24 hours, yet, if so, is there any information?...While not on 24 hours, NOVA earlier tonight showed Einstein's Big Idea (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/) , a superb example of what TV is capable of, complete with Internet resources.
(Oh, and---breaking news---guess who (http://upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060919-072707-7105r) may portray him in an upcoming TV movie?)

[suntrack2]

sarongsong, thanks for the links, Sean Penn is a great actor, and if such things are continually showing as the serials or as the movies, it will taught more to the audience. Because education is the best tool to educate people in a proper way and for proper usage, and to learn something through it.

Albert Einstein are forever popular not only in the physics lecturers and students, but other stream concerns also knows their name, their incredible contribution to this world.

In the old times there were black and white TV were there, upto the year 1980 in our area, later after 1980 we could observe the color television, on the black and white TV watching we have also enjoyed the films and other educational programs but only in two color, black and white.

But later, transitions takes place in the electronic field and we are now capable to see the colorful images, in the learning process, our brain can understands the things when the theoretical aspects taught by taking into account "pictures and diagrams" to increase its intensity to properly know the concept clearly. hence besides the theory everywhere there are some photos, or diagrams are present, may be their view is same as I stated.

Mainly there are three segments of audience in watching television as far as the education through television is concern, 1. Child, 2. Youth, 3. Elder group

These 3 groups are very much keen to see their suitable programs on the television, for example the children will see the cartoon movie or serial, the youth will see the bollywood, hollywood movies, the elder group will see the programs of some discussions, some lectures on the television or preferable news, national and international. So when we are saying that TV is the best for education then this thing will start from these 3 groups, after getting their interests, after taking lot of surveys the suitable programs can be chalk out to educate people free of cost.

Illiteracy can be wipe out by taking the assistance of the television, all people in this world can buy the television, but most of the people can't buy the internet connection at their homes, if the internet connection available on the television itself then the people can take its advantage more effectively.

Am I the only person who's really not okay with Sean Penn as Einstein? Because I'm not.

[Roy Batty]

No. I'm not either!

[HenrikOlsen]

I initially read it as Sean Bean, since Sean Penn is so far from the conceivably possible that my mind tried to run away and hide by putting up a suggestion that was only marginally impossible.

While Sean Penn has pulled off some very good work, none of it says Einsten to me.

[sarongsong]

Just might be Aidan McArdle (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1264521/)'s big break---he seemed quite competent, with a certain impishness, in the NOVA portrayal.

[Argos]

The idea of Sean Penn as Einstein reflects the general public notion that Einstein was sort of "tormented" genius, or a freak (blame it on the infamous sticked out tongue photo). Nothing could be further from truth.

Actually, Einstein used to be a good-looking man. We was a success among women.

[SeanF]

We was a success among women.
Freudian slip, Argos? ;)

[Argos]

OOps. ;) :)

in every study, the rehersal and repeatation is must to get the topic clear, even in the children of most of popular school relent on the repeatatition study to be carried out for their student, means the teachers themselves keep engage in repeatation of the topic or subject to understand well, and tv is the best for showing such lession by repeatating to get a clear cut idea of that topic in the mind.
