Literacy as a
skill was first institutionalized in Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt and China soon
after the art of writing was invented. Education
then was not for the general people but a privilege for the chosen few who took
on strategic roles in the running of the state and in religion. In
Greece, education became more widespread in about the 5th century BC. The Greeks, however, sent only their male children to school.
When Rome was conquered by the Greeks, the Romans under Greek influence
developed a strong tradition of literacy. The Romans
preferred their children to acquire knowledge about agriculture and warfare.
It appears that the course of education is as eventful as the history of man. The Prophet Mohammed (SM) equated one literate non-believer
with ten illiterate believers although he himself was not literate.
Islamic civilization pivoted on literacy and patronage of scholarship. Ibn Sina (called Avicenna in the West) one of the most famous
Muslim philosophers of all times, saw the task of education as
creating a complete citizen, physically, mentally and morally, and preparing him for a profession whereby he could
earn his own livelihood and contribute to the society. In the views of
Al-Farabi, another great Muslim philosopher, education was one of the most
important social phenomenons which made sure that the individual was prepared from an early age to acquire values, knowledge and
practical skills within a particular culture.

It has been over three hundred years since Emperor Shah Jahan of
Delhi built the Taj Mahal as a tomb for his wife in Agra. Architecturally, it
is still one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. The building is made
of fine white marble with inlays of coloured marble. It has eight sides and
many open arches. It rests on a platform or terrace of red sandstone. Four
slender white towers rise from the corners of the terrace. There is a large
dome above the centre of the building. Around this large dome there are four
smaller domes. Just inside the outer walls, there is an open corridor from
which visitors can look through carved marble screens into a central room. The
bodies of Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz lie in two graves below this room. The
Taj Mahal is surrounded by a beautiful garden and there is a long pool that
stretches out in front of the building. One can see the beauty of the Taj Mahal
in its reflection in the pool water. Visitors come to see this wonderful
building at different times of the day since it assumes a different look at
different times. Most people like it best on moonlit nights.

Electronic
mail, popularly known as 'e-mail', is the communication of textual messages via
electronic means. Although telex communication is also electronic in nature,
there are differences between a telex and e-mail. While telex communication is
terminal-to-terminal, electronic mail communication is user-to-user via the
computer. In telex, messages destined to a number of users are sent to the same
terminal from where it is distributed in a printed form by an operator. On the
other hand, e-mail is delivered to individual electronic mail boxes based in
computers. In order to operate an e-mail system we need a personal computer, a
modem and a telephone connection. An important advantage of e-mail is its
ability to reduce the consumption of paper in the office. Internal memos and
reports can be exchanged electronically without using paper. Being a
computer-based messaging system, files prepared on computers can be instantly
copied and easily exchanged as e-mail. This facility has the potential of
improving office efficiency considerably. Being a person-to-person
communication, e-mail turns out to be a cheaper alternative to telephone
conversation and eliminates the time spent in establishing phone calls. For a
telephone conversation to materialise, both the caller and the called must be
present simultaneously. Some studies indicate that as much as 70 per cent of
the business phone calls during business hours do not succeed in the first
attempt due to unavailability of the party being called. E-mail permits communication
between two parties without the parties actually being present simultaneously.
Privacy is ensured as the mail is delivered to an individual's mail box which
can be accessed or opened only by the intended recipient. E-mail has brought
about a revolution in modern communication. Messages can be transmitted from
one country to another within seconds. It is far cheaper than telephone calls.
Trade and commerce has become greatly dependent on this speedy mode of
communication. It has, however, not reached everyone, especially in developing
countries like ours, as most people cannot afford to have a personal computer.
But even here people have started using commercially operated e-mail facilities
for important purposes. English for Today
