Hello wonderful people of hive learners community. I salute everyone here. We can not deny the fact that technology is taking over virtually everything. We live in a time when we will begin to forget the old things that we have studied in the university just to come and begin to study a fresh thing entirely.
Change they say is the only one thing that is constant. If there is no change, then we can't be where we are today. We are here today because of change. Everyone needs to upgrade. It doesn't matter what you believe in it. It doesn't matter what we were thought before now. It doesn't also matter what we have thought people before now. What matters is what's up. The new trend. What people are getting to know now. This is where technology has taken us to. Hope you are not left behind?
Moving on to the topic of discussion for today. What is that one or two courses that we still study in our tertiary institution that we need to do away with? Just like I noted before that every one is experiencing change on every dimension. Even in our higher institutions alot have changed. New courses have been introduced and some old ones have been changed with new ones. But I still think that more needs to be done.
A FEW EXAMPLES
In some colleges of education I still see some people study a course that has to do with using the old typewriter.
Typewriting: I hated this particular thing from time immemorial. I don't just know why. But maybe because it is very difficult to learn. When I was smaller I use to see people use it alot na hated for the kind of noise it makes. Just that noise was enough for me to hate that typing machine. You needed to see how they struggle to type with it. I salute them because I don't like it and never will.
So, when we get to a course like - Bed. This is called Business Education. In this course sometimes they need to to use that old typewriter to show the students one or two things. But for me I don't think that it is a good reason to still bring back that course or even use it at all. Is too backward. All that you will see there is the feeling that you are in the olden days. Hahaha 😂. We don't need such things around us. All we need is the new technology that smells nice, looks nice and works nice.
Then I also checked and noticed that some universities still studies courses related to radio/ TV repair. I think that the reason is because people still use TV and also use radio. But trust me they are all fading away. I can't even remember when last I used a television in my life. I don't also use the radio again yet I use my phone to listen to news every day that I want.
