The Workmanship Of The Past

WATCH THIS It's very hard to find workmanship that rises to this kind of standard today. What we have gained in mass production has been lost in originality and craftsmanship. It's a wonder.

The Latest Flying Car

SEE HERE Flying cars keep coming around.  Most are horribly grotesque and impractical but this one is the latest and greatest apparently.  See what you think!

Wine Expertise Mostly Hype!

SEE HERE This is rather funny really.  Most very expensive wines are really not all that much better and likely worse than much less expensive wines.  Also the idea that particular wines must be drunk with particular foods, red wines with beef and red meat, white wines with fish or poultry have no particular basis in reality, just preferences.  It's all very amusing.

Technology: Transforming Education?

SEE HERE  I have reservations about the idea that technology "transforms" education.  But it is certainly an hypothesis that will be explored in the coming years.  Much of technology seems more of a distraction than a help and before one heralds it as a breakthrough or even a useful aid, one needs to have a better definition in mind of just what education is.  I believe that education is not the learning of facts or even principles, but rather the development in the human person of the faculty of being a good learner so that you can educate yourself effectively no matter what comes up.  You need to learn how to think and develop yourself and not what to think.  The former is education the latter is indoctrination.
