Class Assembly on ‘Technology’
Technology is the growling engine of ever going change. However, we give it the direction. Technology is a tool, which on its own has no use. It is when someone owns it, then it becomes a boon or a bane. Students of Grade V-B depicted the same in the class assembly on “Technology is a Useful Servant but a Dangerous Master”. The assembly began with a skit that showcased the good, bad and the ugly side of its usage. This was followed by a poem, Before the Technology Took Over, which brought forward the simple truth that technology is still a poor substitute for human interaction. The presentation made everyone think whether we should be a master to technology or a mere creature existing as slaves in the hands of technology. The Vice Principal, Ms Monika Kathuria, acknowledged the students for their efforts. Students realized that they will have to find an equilibrium in the usage of technology.
