Clay Shirky

I think that Clay Shirky is right about how we have so much free time, but I don't want to work in my free time. A perfect example is i am too lazy to spend my classtime doing this blog, so there is no way i will work in my free time. Clay Shirky's presentation did not seem to have one clear point. Also, I hate lolcats.

Dan Pink

ROWE sounds awesome. It is so much easier to work for the result instead of for a deadline . I personally would work so much better with a system like that. Not only would it be nice to get to sleep in, it is easier to work without so many worries like getting to work on time. After all, the results are the only thing that matter to a business, so why lower efficency by bogging down workers with protocols.

Sir Ken Robinson

I completely agree with Sir Ken Robinson that our education system is outdated and flawed. With his story about the dancer, i can relate to that. My parents put me in adhd testing because of my bad grades. I aced the test with a grade in the 99th percentile range. The education system is not built to prepare us for the future. For myself, I learn and think more during the summer than during the school year. School has acually become a type of hibernation for my brain. I don't read as much, dream as much, or use my brain at all. So while the mission statement of schools is to give us knowledge, its effect on me is it limits my learning, knowledge, and creativity.
