Education is a never ending service. Technology keeps the service at a high standard .It helps to maintain the excellence in performance and we call it quality service. But quality is not a static phenomena. It is dynamic and ever changing. Excellence targets keep on moving. Telegram, when it began its service in 1853 was considered excellent in term of its service because at that time it was the fastest means of communication. But it has to be closed in 2013 because other means outdid its excellence. Now is the time of Artificial Intelligence. John McCarthy,an American computer scientist coined this term.AI is the simulation of human intelligence processed by machines especially computer system. Its 24x7 availability and digital assistance has zero risk and has the potential to assist a learner by giving him the solution to his problems. AI is becoming increasingly indispensable in almost all the fields of human activities.
We must be aware of one very important aspect of technology that knowledge is created by man ,not by machine. We should not become a slave of technology but the master of it .Excessive dependence on it has paralyzed our thinking, reasoning and imagination. No technology can replace a teacher. It is primarily meant to empower the teacher and not to replace him.
