TAB education in school - If child gets interest, education happens

There are places in every country, where for various reasons, good teachers do not want to go to places where they are wanted the most. And difficulty to the world comes from these left out places.
Two questions happen:
1) Can a teacher be replaced by machine.
2) If children develops interest, education happens.

Dr Sugata Mitra, tried this with experiments since 1982, on unsupervised learning and computers. Finally in 1999, he decided to test his idea in the field. He carved a hole in the wall, at slum KAKLAJI, near to his NIIT office at New Delhi. Through this hole a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This became a instant hit to slum dwellers, especially to children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own. 8 year boy started teaching his 6 year old sister, how to browse.

This 'hole in wall' experiment, became viral in any city, village, slum, he experimented. He named it 'Minimal Invasive Education'.

(Learning Stations) . Children learnt to operate as well as play with minimal intervention. They picked up skills and tasks by constructing their own learning environment.

In Rajasthan, he found children recorded their own music & played it back to each other- just in 4 hours after seeing the computer for the first time. In Hyderabad, where children speak English in Telugu accent, and in two months, they started speaking English in British accent like 'James'. In another South Indian village, boys downloaded 'Tumble bees' video from Disney.com site through GOOGLE in just 14 days.

Teachers remarked, 'tremendous improvements', ' rapid growth', 'deep thinkers' etc. Children could dig out GOOGLE for any query put to them. Children could navigate on internet for their objectives.

This means that , if children gets interest, education happens. Kids can teach themselves.
