Would professors lose job?
Professors are considered as knowledge banks and experts of the society. They through their knowledge and expertise produce new theories and impart education to the students through careful and appropriate screening of the learning materials, book being the basic unit. But with the development of the Internet now anyone can gather knowledge by search engines from among thousands of notes and references and can become expert. Books are also losing their necessity and appeal among the learners. What Professors do is to collect references from the Internet and make them fit to the actual need for learning and learners by adding their own knowledge. Now a student with minimum foundation knowledge can pursue higher education in any discipline. Even the practical for science subjects can be done using the Internet and other computerized teaching machines! Is this an encouraging trend?
