This means that we have to think of a new model that works there.” -- Sunil Mittal ./bernard

I was born into the SEARCH ENGINE generation, I became a Script Kiddie......
by aki 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Myself and many others who came before the search engine and the internet know fully well what we are talking about. Now we get labelled as "Trolls" but unfortunately the know it all could be blank quick-fix biashara generations. Meaning these closely resemble what LEGO did in the first place. The equivalent comparison is that of saying students should be allowed to use calculators and computers during examination time. The problem is not the use of technology advancements but whether the exam questions have become complex enough to warrant the use of calculator and computers, whether the evolvement has gotten to a point where the newer generations feel advantaged because of devices that the human mind can resolve in the first place. Some thoughts, and as usual IMHO & corrections welcome. :-) Rgds.
