While I was reading the Article "Learning to think in a digital world" by Maryanne Wolf, I could not stop thinking about Ken Robinson talk in TED Ideas Worth Spreading (link below) that I had listened a few years ago. Maryanne Wolf is worried about how new technologies are transforming children brain's capacity of learning and thinking. But she is only focusing on finding a way of teaching children how to read before they get in the digital world. Sir Robinson talks about education and creativity, but he believes that creativity is important in education as literacy. He looks in deep on educational system. He thinks ES fails on educating children in a way that is making children less creative. He also believes that children have a great capacity for innovation, they are not afraid of being wrong, but if ES do not prepare them to be wrong they would loss their originality.
What is my point on posting that video? Maybe I am moving one step further from our blog topic, but instead of thinking that Google is making us stupid we should think before if ES is making us stupid?
