Education

Being a college professor and a seeker or knowledge, I sometimes feels that the quality of education is going down the drain. It is so ironic that now, we have google and the internet within reach yet people are becoming less smart. I don't want to call them dumb yet, but the road is going there. I would maybe blame the television and other professors for this. Most teaching methods uses memorization which I believe is the lowest for of learning. We should strive to teach the next generation more on rational thinking. Many are even managers on their own industry yet they cannot seem to grasp simple metaphoric statements. To make things worse, this individual claims to be a reader. What more for those who don't read?

It is alarming on where our education is going. With the vast source of knowledge within our reach, we should maximize it and try to develop the highest form of thinking.
