The present day world is facing two general problems-“information explosions” and the “population explosion”. Information explosion means an explosion of knowledge. Today, throughout the world, social and technological changes are taking place rapidly due to expanding world of information. So there is explosion of knowledge. New frontiers of knowledge are opening day by day and the horizon of human knowledge and understanding is expanding very fast.
On the other hand, with the explosion of knowledge there is also population explosion. The student population is immensely increasing year by year due to the growth of population and democratisation of education with varying levels of motivation and aspiration. The problem of” population explosion” is more serious in the developing countries than the developed one. India is facing serious difficulties both from population as well as information explosion.
So the two general factors – “information explosion” and ” Population explosion” have posed critical problems for education-more things to be learnt and more people to be taught. Today there is a cry for “more education to more people in less time”. For solving these problems successfully, educational technology consisting of various media of mass communication are essentially required. Both qualitative improvement and quantitative expansion of education can be facilitated and accelerated with the help of this mass media under educational technology. So the mass-media has come to our rescue to tackle this problem.
