Boys and Porn

Today , i stumbled upon this TEDx video by Ran Gariveli. The title is "Why i stopped watching porn". Seen a couple videos with similar title which fall under comedy category, but not this one.

In Min, the author explained, or lets say presented his treatise on how a simple thing like porn affects us in return how it changes the society.

Porn , bunch of videos or photographs , which gives us enough material to boost the imagination so that we can masturbate, have been a deciding factor how we treat sex. In the words of the speaker, sex is not just penetration. Its kind of twists the minds of teenagers , for who porn is always available , to think that, in sex, there is no role for hands. Where is the romance? Could they tell the difference between sex and love-making?

Another issue, the speaker pointed out is something i never thought of. That, porn is nothing but video graphed prostitution. Something to think over.

Another TED video discussing the same subject,

Me? teaching ?

I never actually believed i could teach someone. Or i would agree to a situation like that.

However, my Boss, asked me to teach basics of computers to kids from weavers family, so that they might develop designing skills with the help of IT.

I agreed without second thought , as he would ask me to sit in the office and  do the deskjob if i dont go out on some work.

Went to Chowtuppal, a small town,  to test my abilities as a teacher, in which , i think , i have failed like congress party failed in 2014 General elections.

Kids studying from 7th class to Degree first year sat before me with poker faces, except a girl who is too eager and boy he got convinced that i have nothing new to teach him. When i asked, how many of them didnt know computers at all, some of them raised their hands, and these same kids, started playing classic solitaire when i was writing on board.

I tried to explain the difference between hardware and software first, because thats the class my teacher taught me. Then i forgot what he taught me next. I dont know where to go after that, even Google could not help me in that regard the previous night.

From my personal experience as a student with English as third language, i planned to make them understand the meanings of simple words like path, properties, rename , save, settings, etc etc. However, the audience didnt expect a English class.

I was struck for moment, kids are struck too, they wanted to play and paint but i am stopping them. Its like the silence before war. Its no more teacher-student, its more like performer- audience. Well, though i am officially their computer "teacher" , i cant punish them not listening to me. Without raising interest in their little heads  , they would treat computers just like maths. Thats the opposite of  purpose of the classes.

I taught them how to change wallpapers and screensavers. Then how to save a file to desktop , then asked them show their creativity on MS paint and left.

I might have to take another class in couple of days, need suggestions to improve my skills in teaching.
