At present we are living in the 21st century which is the era of science and technology. Science and technology is very useful in our life. Today its growth rate is at its peak. One of the biggest gifts of science and technology is computer.

With the help of computers we can do almost everything. Using computers and internet we can get almost every information by just a single click. In a blink of an eye big calculations can be done. In the fraction of a second we can also do many other things. But a computer cannot do everything which a man can do.

One of the biggest examples is teachers. Teaching is one of the most challenging and demanding jobs and teachers are the most patient and tolerant creatures in the world. This job needs both patience and dedication towards the students. They need to intermingle with students and teach with full dedication.

They are a typical combination of a mother, a friend and a guru. They never follow give and take norm. They give us punishments. They give complements.

They give us love and affection, but never counts or takes these things back from us. They are like a bridge between success and us.They make us perfect humans and they also inculcate many values in our life. Without them gaining knowledge is impossible and without knowledge gaining spirituality is impossible. That is why; teachers are given a high post in our society from ancient times.

But the growing rate of technology does not mean that we start replacing our teachers with computers, though we can use technology to make studying more interesting but we cannot replace are teachers with computers. Now, I would like to ask a question to all of those who are in the favor of replacing teachers, can a computer teach in the way like a teacher teaches?Can it explain and make us understand things in the frank way like our teachers do? And What if, if there’s no electricity, can a computer teach in that situation also? The answers to all these questions is NO. No, a computer cannot teach in the way like a teacher teaches. It cannot appreciate us on our good qualities like teachers do. It cannot interact with us. It cannot teach in the frank and friendly manner of our teachers.

It cannot understand our problems and explain them again. It cannot crack jokes in the class like our teachers sometimes do.Above all, a machine cannot understand our feelings and help us to overcome the problems in our life. A teacher imparts knowledge to us, grooms our personality so that we can become a better person. It helps to distinguish between right and wrong and toughens us morally and physically to face the world, but a computer can do none of these things.

A teacher plays different roles in our life. It acts as a guru while teaching, a friend while listening to our problems and providing solutions to them and like a mother while sharing love and affection with us. They are not only professionals but also a milestone in the path of success.They are different from other professionals because the work for their present, but a teacher works hard and prepares a child for his/her future. In the end I would just like to say that teachers who are the main reason behind the success of a man should never, never be replaced by computers. I would also like to recite this short poem for all my dear teachers.

Thank you teachers For acting like a friend, After taking time to shower Lessons hard to comprehend. Thank you teachers For your caring and lots of other stuff, For all these things I can’t thank you enough.
