Bring on the learning revolution response

              In the Film, Ken Robinson: Bring on the revolution of learning, it discussed many strong concepts on the improvement of education. The first concept that stuck me was when Robinson was explaining that instead of evolution in learning their should be revolution. I agree with what he was saying, education is being reformed with a broken model which causes humans to not recognize their talents and put them to use, or test their intelligence to see what they are capable of. I believe it is true that there are two kinds of people in the world. Many people in the world are not happy with that they do, and instead of enjoying life they just endure it. There are those who are passionate about what they do, and enjoy life. Talent has diversity, just like what Robinson was explaining that humans should do things that makes your spirit happy or excited and that we should be passionate about what we do. I strongly agree with the concept about how we should do something where it makes an hour feel like five minutes, instead of five minutes feeling like a hour.

              Another concept that really struck me, was when Robinson shared that people over twenty five wear wristwatches because they were born in a pre-digital time, and if you were to look at teenagers now they do not wear watches, because they were born into a digital generation. I believe that is one of the big issues now. Since the younger generation were born into smart phones, ipads, social media, and new and improved computers, it causes them to be in a bubble instead of exploring what's outside of the screen. For instance, there are five year olds that know how to use an ipad insteading knowing how to play board games, pr rather than playing outside with other kids. This causes many issues, for one, the younger generation will grow up not knowing how to physically interact with people face to face. Also, people are very addicted to using their social media that you can find out what a person is doing or who they are by just looking up that person's facebook or instagram profile. That creates another issue because when people go out in public they do not know what to conversate about because it's already right in front of you on the social media.

             I also like the idea that humans should live an organic lifestyle rather than a linear lifestyle. We should be able to customize our own ways or creating our own solutions.
