The Scientific and technological information available today has revolutionized worldwide means of communication, which plays a keyrole in the growth and development in all walks of life. Increased production in agriculture and industry also require an efficient transport system for transporting raw materials and finished products from one part of the country of other. Tremendous developments in the field of transport and communication have been made to meet the growing demands due to increasing number of users. The communication network in the world has undergone a sea change with the use of satellite and other communication systems. These global changes have influenced the quality of life in our country.
There has been a global expansion of electronic information in recent times. This has greatly helped in improving upon the quality of life. Millions of computers in this world are connected through the Internet, facilitating the accessibility to information within a ultra short time. Use of fax, mobile phone, e-mail, have become a common day affair in all walks of life.
The convergence of multiple communication systems have revolutionised learning and knowledge sharing. The ability to access and manage these information and knowledge repositories is important in the development of both the individual as well as the society.
Children should be exposed to communication technology and to appreciate its role in human affairs.
They need to adapt/adopt new technologies to collect, process, analyse, synthesise, evaluate and share knowledge with others. The objective of this sub-theme is promoting innovations in knowledge networks involving transport and communication technology in all segments of the society. Children need to reason and communicate to solve problems and to understand effective use of information and communication technology for a variety of purposes.
The exhibits/models in this sub-theme may pertain to:
- indigenous/improvised/Improved devices for world-wide communication of verbal/ printed/pictorial information
