By: neutiquam. on 12 Apr 10, 06:59:58
@Leilalalah You said "Instead we should study things we feel that we want/need to know, in order to do our future job". The reason you study things for a certain job at all is that it is required that you know certain things if you want? to that job REGARDLESS of whether or not you want to learn them. Don't like it? Don't do that job! Life isn't cutesy bubbles, magic, and farts. Sometimes you can't do/have everything you want.

By: neutiquam. on 12 Apr 10, 06:54:17
How could you have deciphered what you said from his video? Were you watching a different video and commented by accident on this one? He said that if the? government failed because of some strange event, the systems that allow you to access the internet could fail too, thus you would have not internet access. Where do you think the internet comes from?

@Leilalalah You are ...
By: neutiquam. on 12 Apr 10, 06:51:51
@Leilalalah You are completely wrong when you say that that is what is wrong with the schooling system today. What you mean to say is that you don't agree with the schooling system and as such it should change to meet your needs. This is a completely arrogant and self-serving, self-interested thing to say. The only reason you don't agree with the school system is you are too lazy to do the work. Suck it? up. Life requires you to work. No one is going to hand you everything you want/need.

That's the first ...
By: Dionamuh. on 26 Feb 10, 12:18:04
That's the first practical thing I thought of: for a lot of professions you need a degree. And rightfully so. It shows that you have a certain level of thinking and a certain amount of knowledge. And something else; the Internet might be a handy tool but I think it's absolutely vital to meet people in person to share your views and ideas, to interact. It's too bad? Dan doesn't go into all of this in his follow-up video. Some discussion.

The students would ...

The students would still need to meet basic course? requirements.

The problem is that ...
By: nomadbob. on 25 Feb 10, 01:15:12
The problem is that the teachers union has rejected any attempt to test teachers. There are teachers who inspire there students and teachers who turn there students? against subjects. I think a better system is to change the school system keep the good teachers and dump the bad ones. Use the internet in connection with home study. Teachers could post lessons on something like YouTube. This would allow the courses to be quickly and easily changed to meet world changes.

So what does that ...
By: digitalfare. on 25 Feb 10, 00:20:05
So what does that have? to with this video? Sure, some teachers are incompetent in their subject area, but that means we have to have higher standards for our teachers. That's nothing to do with the students.

I don't? think that ...
By: wahane. on 24 Feb 10, 23:40:46
I don't? think that Dan Brown was saying that the internet should replace education. I think he was saying that the education system needs to take advantage of the possibilities the internet provides. Education is definitely not without flaw, and Dan was just proposing a way it might be reformed. However, I agree with you, sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do in order to learn.

I agree, I suppose ...
By: Racinette189. on 24 Feb 10, 22:56:32
I agree, I suppose I should say that in my Uni experiences, there was only a handful of classes that I had to take that was out of the field that I was interested in, and after the first year or so most of the classes I took/ am taking was either related to my field or a class that I enjoy. I find my Uni does a great job of providing lots of course options. I also am not saying that Universities dont need change, they do need to adapt but I feel (at least in my? case) that they are.

I think that high ...
By: Racinette189. on 24 Feb 10, 22:38:32
I think that high school teaches information that generally isn't all that important in the long term, but it teaches information necessary to learn at uni, like a pre-requisite. Uni focuses on specific information in a given field, and I will agree that you may not use all of the info but I believe in most cases if you? dont learn that info, establishing a job becomes much harder. And as much as it sucks, having information pounded into your head is the most effective way to learn.

I'm sorry if it ...
By: fidgetingfinch. on 24 Feb 10, 22:37:52
I'm sorry if it seemed like I said that schools are available over the entire world. What I meant to say is that person-to-person education is? available in many places where the internet isn't. There are certainly many places that don't have access to education, and that is a tragedy.

What do you expect ...
By: Racinette189. on 24 Feb 10, 22:03:43
What do you expect school to be? It has to involve memorization or else it's worthless. How can you be educated on something if you don't have a good foundation of knowledge on the subject? I do agree that some textbooks suck but there are textbooks that provide the information in a readable manner, and not everything is? available on the internet. What is the point of an education if its not preparing people for a job? I mean we cant all be philosophers devoting our lives to ideas

By: fecklessman. on 24 Feb 10, 21:27:46

By: Racinette189. on 24 Feb 10, 20:46:05
I agree and I don't know how many actually are but i imagine? many are trying to adapt, they are just doing so at a slower pace then Dan would like.

First off? there is ...
By: nomadbob. on 24 Feb 10, 18:07:24
First off? there is an old expression, those who can do those who cant teach. Nothing in the current system requires teachers to know there subject. Years ago teachers were given the same tests they gave there students and most failed. Im talking 8th grade math teachers who cant pass 8tn grade math. There are probably a lot of text books that will tell you there are 9 planets, but they are wrong. Schools tend to run 10 years in the past and often the teachers are not competent in there subject

How do you figure ...
By: fidgetingfinch. on 24 Feb 10, 17:39:25
How do you figure that? I've worked before, and there was no shock other than having lots of money I didn't before.?

OMG I dont agree ...
By: nomadbob. on 24 Feb 10, 17:07:21
OMG I dont agree with what Dan Brown said in his video. But? you scare me. My best guess is that you plan on becoming a professional student. If not you are in for a big shock when you join the real world and get a job.

No, that's not what ...
By: fidgetingfinch. on 24 Feb 10, 15:51:49
No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that laws and the government create order. Without order, the internet wouldn't? exist. So without the government or laws, the internet will inevitably die.

Let me get this ...
By: NCLUSA. on 24 Feb 10, 08:54:39
Let me get this straight? you want the government? to have control of the internet?, are you sure that's what you want?

By: Troubledsham. on 24 Feb 10, 08:28:00
The internet is stable. maybe not your computer or ISP but the internet is always there. unless EVERY ISP or server with a website hosted on it goes down there will? always be an internet.

Tests are proven to be useless. It does not tell you how much knowledge you have learned or are able to apply in real life. It shows how much you? can remember for that 1-2 hour period under pressure and then more than likely forget 10 minutes after the test. Active discussion, both oral and written, is where your learn.

By: eleph4nt. on 21 Mar 10, 05:53:57
Dan Brown was just talking about SOME parts of education. I'm currently studying fine arts and I feel useful the classes where I can, lets say, actually practice my painting skills, and i feel completely? stupid that I have to memorize 30 Japanese paper names that I will forget 10 minutes after the test. Internet will not replace school, but school needs to acknowledge the huge amount of information that's on the Internet and how easy it is to find it

By: fidgetingfinch. on 25 Feb 10, 00:18:35
Yes, that is very true. Especially when there are universities in the US that charge well over $40,000 in tuition a? year. Honestly, the level of education you receive at one of those universities is not going to be 8 times better than a university that charges $5,000 a year.

By: digitalfare. on 25 Feb 10, 00:16:25
I don't think he's comparing paying for internet access with paying for university access. Rather, he's pointing out that both have a fee. Dan said in his video that the price of information is dropping, almost free but that isn't true. You pay for internet access, or electricity, or a computer. You don't pay directly? for access to the information but you still need money to get it.

I don't think he's ...
By: digitalfare. on 25 Feb 10, 00:09:47
I don't think he's saying you can't learn valuable? information from the internet. The point is, learning on the internet cannot completely replace learning in schools.

Something that I ...
By: HeyWeemsical. on 25 Feb 10, 00:04:56
Something that I don't think the people who made (the admittedly few) negative video responses got from Dan's video was that he? does not, in fact, want people to drop out of school and get all their information from the internet. I personally don't think he should have included the part about him dropping out at all, since it distracts from his point, which is that education has problems and needs to change. And it does.

That isn't to say ...
By: HeyWeemsical. on 24 Feb 10, 23:46:11
That isn't to say that the internet is worth the same as a college education - it isn't. But the price of institutionalized education (at least in the U.S.) is thousands of dollars more than what it should be, which I would argue makes it? just as unavailable to people as the internet is to people in Africa.

I think you're spot ...
By: HeyWeemsical. on 24 Feb 10, 23:41:41
I think you're spot on in the first part of the video, the part about the difference between knowledge and learning and the advantages that institutionalized education has that the internet doesn't have, like coercion, experience, etc. The other argument that you make about the internet costing money too is true, but the price difference between internet access and access to a university is so huge? as to make the point invalid. It's not free, but it might as well be compared to the alternative.

I think ...
By: radscorpion8. on 24 Feb 10, 22:45:40
I think theoretically learning and developing skills and knowledge should be possible over the? internet or in school, its just that universities do a much better job because all the resources are right there, and you don't have to worry about having unreliable facts/equations, and everything is perfectly lined up to learn from (i.e. prerequisite courses for more advanced courses). The university is the perfect learning package. I don't think there should be much controversy beyond this

By: fidgetingfinch. on 24 Feb 10, 20:17:22
You need a computer to do that, and without a computer, the encoded data is useless, and for all practical purposes ceases to exist. A book never crashes. You can't run a magnet over? it and it disappears. Yeah, you can burn a book, but the physical substance of it still exists in the ashes. Delete a computer file, and all you have left is... nothing. 0.

By: fidgetingfinch. on 24 Feb 10, 20:13:17
As wonderful? as that may be, the internet will never be as reliable and tangible as real human interaction. Nothing in computers are real. You can't touch a text document, you can't feel an email, because they are symbolically encoded in 1s and 0s. These are things that don't really exist in the same way that people and books do. While computer data does exist physically on hard drives, CDs, etc, it isn't the same. I can't look at my hard drive and read a text file from it.

By: crazygonutssss. on 24 Feb 10, 18:33:37
false. you SHOULD pass tests because you have learned information, but that isn't how the? school system really functions. you don't have to learn anything to pass most tests. most tests only require your to store some information in your brain, then spit it out on the test. however, as dan and i have said, that isn't good enough. knowing and understanding are not the same thing. Anyone can know, and if you don't know, you can find out. knowing is free, it's understanding that has value.
