Abstract

Language was needed to communicate with one another when human society emerged on earth. In ancient times, language was understood through gestures and sounds. Human society brought language into written form to continue civilizing. That script was also transformed into hieroglyphics, syllables, scripts, etc., and changed to the scriptwriting system we use today. We needed a medium to communicate with distant people. In the early days, it was also communicated by writing. It wrote on barks, clay tablets, pottery tiles, animal skins, and clothes. As the knowledge of human society expanded, so did his discoveries. After the discovery of paper, mankind wrote everything on paper as the medium of letters. Human society communicated through it. As the time of writing on paper gradually became obsolete, writing on a computer became new with the development of technology. There was only a letter to contact those far away that day. The telegraph came because of the technological revolution. The phone arrived. The radio came on. Television also came. As a result of the information technology revolution, the internet, a medium that surpassed all this, came into being. The website swallowed up everything that had previously been used for communication separately. Do you want to send a letter to someone? Want to talk to someone in some corner of the world? Want to listen to the radio? Even if there is no television at all, do you want to know what's happening in other countries? The website has been transformed into a time mirror that shows everything. Various literature is being created in Tamil on such a website. Originally created for the communication of various types of information, the website today has a deep footprint on all platforms. It is also doing the work of educating the students. No one learns anything at birth and comes back. Everyone learns language, mathematics, science, society, etc. during their student days. Today, websites have created a situation where even going to school can be done from home. In this context, the Tamil Nadu Government's Education TV, which broadcasts educational programmes for students, also has a website. This article aims to examine whether the website has similar functionalities for today's student community.
