Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny - II

This is a sequel to Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny.
In the good old days(I am referring to India in particular) we had weekly village fairs(సంతలు) where people would go around walking, bargain and buy what they want. However, with passage of time we got into going to grocery stores and buying things. Though the old form is still existent, to me the new avatar is the shopping malls.

During ancient times in India we had the Gurukul system when the student's education is complete when the Guru says it is complete. The Guru would monitor each student as each one is unique. We know what has replaced it and know about the current system(at the time of writing this blog) of education. But today, with so much e-Learning boom  individual based learning is on a all time high.
