Greetings!

Greetings! Just thought I would post a picture and a few quotes to add to thought processes of “The intertwining of mind, technology, and teaching…”

”If you study to remember, you will forget, but, If you study to understand, you will remember.”
-- Unknown

“Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.”
-- Henry Peter Broughan

The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
--T.H. White, "The Once and Future King"

”It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.”
--Alec Bourne


”In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships.”
--John Gottman, Ph.D. Author

"I believe, however, that contemporary technology assessment will become sophisticated and more successful only if those who practice it are made aware of the complexity and ramifications of the effects of technological changes in the past. History can offer no solutions, but it may help to guide an acute mind towards kinds of questions that in the present state of systems analysis tend to be overlooked. Above all it may illuminate the limitations as well as the possibilities of assessing technology."
--Lynn White. Jr., Medieval Religion and Technology


"A life spent making mistakes is . . . more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
--G. B. Shaw

"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding."
--Proverbs 3:13a
