Jenny has not returned my calls in roughly a year. She has, however, sent me a poinsettia, poked me and placed a gift beneath my Christmas tree. She has done all these ____, courtesy of Facebook, the social-networking ____ on which users create profiles, gather "friends"  and join common-interest groups. Although Jenny has three children and rarely finds time for visits, phone calls or even e-mail, the full-time mother in upstate New York ____ updates her status on Facebook. After 24 years, our friendship is now relegated to the ____ world, filtered through Facebook.

Facebook provides a constant flow of information via short updates from everyone a user ____: a distant cousin is glad he skipped the cheeseburger, a colleague has a new book on sale; a close friend is engaged.

Yet for many users, Facebook somehow remains distinctly personal. Although social-networking sites typically encourage connections among ____ where people converge through common interests where the whole point is to greet new faces, Facebook is geared  toward helping people ____ existing connections. The site serves as a self-updating address book, keeping users ____ no matter their geographical shifts.

But I can't help wondering. If for some reason Facebook suddenly ____ to exist, would people like Jenny revert to phone calls or visits, or would they lose touch altogether?

I probably won't find out. Instead, I gave in. Last week I sent Jenny a note - through Facebook, naturally - requesting a get-together. She accepted. When we met up, it seemed like we were closer than i had thought. I knew about Jenny's son's part in the school play, her sledding expedition and what she'd cooked for that big birthday dinner - ____ we would have shared if we still lived in the same neighbourhood and talked regularly, the inane and intimate details that add up to life. The constant stream of data is a digital form of closeness.

Education has an immense impact on the human society. One can safely assume that a person is not in the proper sense till he is educated. It trains the human mind to think and take the right decision. In other words, man becomes a rational animal when he is educated.


It is through education that knowledge and information is received and spread throughout the world. An uneducated person cannot read and write and hence he is closed to all the knowledge and wisdom he can gain through books and other mediums. In other words, he is shut off from the outside world. On the contrary, an educated man lives in a room with all its windows open towards outside world.


The content of education still belongs to the past. Education suffers basically from what the report describes as the gap between its contents and living experience of its pupils between the system of values that it preached and the goals set up by society, between its ancient curricula and the modernity of science.


Education means an all round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, ming and spirit. The imperative character of education for individual growth and social development is now accepted by every one. Investment in the education of its youth considered as most vital by all modern nations. Such an investment understandably acquires top priority in developing countries.


The end of all education, all training should be man making. The end and aim of all training is to make the man grow. The training by which the current and expression are brought under control and become fruitful is called education. Education plays a vital role in giving human beings proper equipment to lead a gracious and harmonious life.


Education is a fundamental means to bring any desired change in society, which is an accepted fact throughout the world. This can be attained only if schools become real centres of learning. Education not only helps in the development of personality of the child but also determines his future. Recent psychological research has shown that favourable attitudes towards life develop in the earliest stages of child growth.


Education gives solutions for any type of problems. Through education we promote values and good habits and awareness towards corruption, terrorism and disease. Education helps to continue communication with known and unknown persons through technology and mass media.


Education gives strength to the person. They get knowledge and discriminate which is wrong and which is right with the help of education. Through education we inculcate values in the students and readers.
