Virtual experiences have taken over the fun of going out and exploring the world outside. Should this disconnect between children and their natural environment be an issue of concern?
     
  Virtual v/s Natural:

  “Which world are you living in”?
     
 

Long school hours, tuitions, homework, tests and semester exams. Not much leisure time left for the school children, is there? However, media and technology have simplified things by providing easy access and variety in entertainment. Internet, satellite channels and video games have ensured that one need not go out to have fun.

Our lives are, however, a part of a larger system and not just divided between hobbies and academics.  This is the world around us, which contributes to our physical and intellectual growth. Despite this, many of us are getting detached from what exists outside the boundaries of our home and school. Does that lead to a disconnect? Do you agree that one needs to understand the immediate environment before reaching out for global concerns? Find out how strong your bond is
with the world around you.
