Good question...

In an experiment in India a man put a touchscreen computer in a wall facing outward and fully functional. Children, nay of them homeless orphans discovered it and over a short period of time and no teachers they not only figured out how to use it, they invented new ones...

It is as it has been said that it is the nature of the Beast (us) to adapt and survive, which ion its primitive state still is learning

What works
what can I eat

And so on

Education is best and most fruitful in an explorative model where a new construct or in my case computer system including OS load, app load and verify

My Students went out worldwide installing and maintaining large business multiuser systems in critical application environments. In this world or arena you have to be self sufficient

I found that across the board, varying by country a logical progression of thought was something I needed to spark to allow them to troubleshoot...

Get in car

Insert key, turn

Starter turn Yes/No

In the biz they call this a decision tree, leading you to a conclusion and changing parts

No thinking really to this point. From IBM to many others it takes someone who knows how it works, can visualize the internals and probe effectively to excise the infection while they in many cases continue to operate.

A friend of mine, Doc Searles wrote a great book back in the early 80’s called The Cluetrain Manifesto in which he correctly descibes MonoSkilling as a practice not unknown in buisinesses, what you mightcall aone trick pony. I turn the screw, you put on the sticker...

Like the assembly line only in high tech. If a problem starts to creep across my job to anothers, as it most often does in a process then they lock up, only so much they are allowed to improvise

And when the time comes they replace you like a defective Fuel Pump, because after all there is NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT YOU!

This is biting them in the Ass as they have crappy intake training for new hires and over time the base of knowledge in a company devolves into reactions and then failures

Note reactions are near the end, and that is what Education today teaches us, not to create but to react to what is being done above us “for our own good”
This my FRiends and I apologize is what drives me to write as I do here to help all of us to open our eyes, the inner ones ofour souls and stop rolling in the mud wirh Democratic pigs, you know how THEY Love to roll in mud and other filth...

So, are we Men or mice...

Do we standas one, or split apart because the paint ain’t right or insisting on a candidate getting every checkbox or his poll numbers are crashing, panic...

I see responses and as time progresses the conversation has changed, people are looking around and inside saying “I never thought about it that way” and you were trained in Education not too, and there the loop closes...

Shake the Yoke, take your life back and follow your star...

God Bless
