"Can Sir Issac Newton discover gravity if he was not under that apple tree and was siting in some ordinary class just like we all do?" No. I personally feel every time when i sit in my class, that me and my friends could have invented some really cool stuffs for sure in young age if we were not educated within four walls and in front of these books with hundreds of pages.
Even technology nowadays are so advanced that even young children too are smarter enough to trick their parents and if all these used in a proper way every student can invent something or the other like it used to be long time before. According to me from the 19th century inventions are less and all we do is just upgrading what all we are provided with.
I personally think that it's these books that bind us and make us upgrade inventions rather than inventing one ourselves. But at the same time it's these books that help us upgrade inventions too and if we can upgrade inventions more than the inventor himself/herself dreamed of, then we too can invent things more than anyone can dream of with these books, all we need to know is how to use this books for inventions instead of upgrading.
Like many inventors who spend most of their time with nature or carving their interests more and more. Every student must too be given the same opportunity to evolve their education into an all new invention and not let their education be just for evolving someone's else's invention.
Unfortunately it's only the ones who are subjected to this education who will agree with your opinions, and once even we leave all of this behind will have a change of heart
ReplyDeleteSo,what will be the use of such inventions or let's say inventions that you yourself made if it's not told to everyone and on what basis it was invented and how it might be helpful. Like as you said newton invented gravity,then what will be the use of such inventions if they are not taught to you. and that's my friend is why we study. so we can invent something which is based on what we have been earlier taught instead of rediscovering the same thing again and again by the people who weren't present in those four walls and who don't know that this is already been invented.
ReplyDeleteI have mentioned in my article that these books help us in upgrading the inventions. It's the books for sure that has helped us in improving all the technologies that we enjoy in our daily life. :)
DeleteDo you think our science textbooks are "science" textbooks or "history" textbooks talking about the discovery/invention aspects of the past?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do think. But these books give us enough information to do an all new invention too.
DeleteThe problem is that we are not taught in such a way.
