L S Pradeepaa: Can We Go Paperless?

This is a question that has left  everyone perplexed. Given today's bleak scenario it seems like we have to. If we continue to use paper at this rate we will certainly face an environmental crisis in the next 10 years or so. The other alternative is to use computers and laptops, but everything has its own pros and cons. Using computers and laptops can help us reduce our dependence on paper, but the use of such devices in schools can be counter-productive. However, computers provide an easily accessible way of slacking off in class without anyone noticing, therefore decreasing the amount of effective learning. Students are more likely to be engrossed in whatever is on their screens and less likely to participate in healthy discussions in the classroom. Also, the use of devices creates an anti-sociable environment which has a negative impact in classrooms, where students should actually be interacting. 

Paper is an essential part of our daily life, but if we replace it with an electronic device, we would be using it all day, which may become the main cause for eyesight-related problems in the long run. At the same time, what is better than lazing on a couch and reading your favourite book? The solution to this problem is to reduce the use of paper. Though everyone should strive to be as environmentally conscious as possible, this doesn't necessarily mean going completely paperless.

That might happen but I think I''ll not enjoy that. To save papers we can opt the method what KV did. Old books can be used by the next batch students. Instead of buying new novels you can buy old ones. This will help.

Yep love your thought.. I wish one day or the other the world would go paperless and simultaneously there would be an increased knowledge about technical gadgets. They say that more than ten thousand trees are just cut for making exam papers. Huh I would not say no to exams but no to the way of writing exams on paper. Paperless world is a good idea which must be made into act by the politicians which is one of the most effective ways to make it possible.

We can go paperless . As technology improved,schools over the globe excpet india are using mobiles, laptops and tablets for taking notes.We are not asking for anything else .we are just bored of taking notes and writing them down . but for a change if we are allowed to take notes in laptops we wont have so much tension and burden to carry all these classworks etc.... . school boards should consider aboutthis . We are living in 21st century no wonder why we still cut trees and use papers

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
