Chapter 24 standing before knowledge equally

When my son was 7 years old, he had already started to learn multiplication in mathematics.However, his primary school follows a foreign teaching model and rarely asks students to memorize anything by rote.When they were learning multiplication, they actually didn't let the students memorize the "multiplication table".Based on my past experience, the "Multiplication Table" must be memorized. After memorizing it, it will be much more convenient for future calculations and work.Because the "multiplication table" has become a part of your brain, sometimes you can take it out and use it at any time when you don't have any calculation tools.

So I took out a ruler, pencil and eraser, and wanted to make a "multiplication table" for my son Pan Rang by myself.I first drew a box, and then divided it into nines horizontally and vertically, and drew each line straight. The outer border used double lines, and the middle dividing line used single lines.It took about 10 minutes, and this "multiplication table" was finally made.During the production process, Zhang Xin came home and saw me working hard on the table, so he asked me what I was doing so seriously.I said to her without raising my head: I am making a "multiplication table" for Pan Rang to learn mathematics.After finishing this "table of multiplication formulas", I called Pan Rang over, and wanted to tell him a good story about my childhood experience, and then let him memorize this "table of formulas for multiplication".Pan Rang looked at this self-made "multiplication table", and suddenly said to me in surprise: Dad, why did you draw it yourself?Why don't you search on your computer?Hearing what he said, I suddenly realized, I quickly went to the computer, and typed the words "table of multiplication formulas" in "Baidu".It took 0.045 seconds to display on the computer, and 7,380 articles related to "multiplication tables" were found, including various multiplication tables. "Multiplication table" has.

This incident made me feel that the first change in the new world is the free use of knowledge.In the past, the possession of knowledge belonged to the power class, and they maintained their privilege of monopolizing knowledge with the policy of obscuring the people.But now, because of the widespread use of the Internet, knowledge exists around each of us in the form of the Internet.The networked knowledge storage system not only provides knowledge itself, but also provides convenient ways to find knowledge such as review and search.A 6-year-old child, as long as he knows how to use Google and Baidu, can find more than 10 times more information than the teacher can remember in one minute.Looking at the Internet, the breadth and depth of the free use of knowledge is unprecedented. It not only breaks the illusion of the so-called dignity of teachers, but also destroys the strategy of obscuring the people who block and manage knowledge as a privilege.Because knowledge is open and transparent, people feel an unprecedented sense of equality.Look at those addicted to the Internet, click to open a webpage at the east, and open a webpage at the west, what drives them to browse information all night long is the pleasure of "knowing everything".

With the development of the Internet, not only will the right to obtain knowledge be equal, but the right to speak will also be equal.In the early days of the Internet, there was a saying: "Go online, no one will know that you are a dog." This ridiculous catchphrase shows that on the Internet, people's right to speak is completely equal.In fact, if a dog can talk, regardless of its views and attitudes, that also contributes to the dog's knowledge.The reason why the Internet has miraculously grown into a massive knowledge base is precisely because of the carnival of all people after the sudden realization of the right to speak and the right to know have returned to the hands of ordinary people.

For everyone, the way of storing and disseminating knowledge through the Internet is an information explosion and a kind of knowledge encirclement.Behind every piece of knowledge, there is a publisher hidden, so knowledge also presents the personality of its owner.Interesting titles, accompanied by pictures, with music accompaniment or flashing cartoons, which make the expression of knowledge on the Internet quite entertaining.Therefore, through the Internet, the dissemination of knowledge will no longer be serious in the traditional sense, but a real "education through entertainment".

When knowledge is ubiquitous and readily available, we face some new problems.I was taken aback the other day when I heard someone say how to make soft bombs can be found online.There is too much public knowledge, and anyone can easily find the corresponding knowledge to satisfy his most secret thoughts. You have no idea what knowledge he has acquired, what skills he has, and what tools he has mastered.Just like the feeling of people standing in front of the sea, you see that knowledge is indeed completely opened up, but the difficulty for you to understand life has also increased accordingly.In an era of unified thinking, clear themes, and gradual decline in knowledge, it seems that what this person knows and can say can be grasped, and people can understand each other without much effort.But that age is irretrievably over, and the talents each individual may possess are now truly unpredictable.

So, now, when you meet everyone, there may be excitement and freshness, and you can really practice what Confucius said, "Threesomes must have my teacher".Because knowledge exists openly around you, everyone can obtain the knowledge they are interested in and form unique wisdom.Even those young children may be discerning discoverers in a certain way.The wonderful thing about the new world we face is that everyone is talented, and every talent is different.At this time when everyone is bursting out with their own unique personality, we must also have a more open mind, because freely absorbing knowledge may also produce many "weirds".

This era is full of ubiquitous knowledge and people who apply it. This is my first sigh of the Internet age. I feel that a magical new world is forming around us.
