And maybe we over relied on some senses and made an education system which relied on certain sense organs more than other senses. But talking about Smartphones,we may be coming to a full circle with Voice assisted AI is gaining ground.

I would suggest you to read The book 'A brave new world' By Aldous Huxley which predicted how the information overloaded numbness works in a beautiful way

Whenever there is a technological stabilization round the corner,There is another different kind of device created and people run towards the new device.

There is nothing more satisfying than to see the spark of interest and wonder reignite in a child.

Keep up your good job people, I hope to pickup coding from where i left. I remember the good old days of basic and logo,They were fun to start programming with.

I hope that someday these kids will become self learners and help other kids do the same. Even learning how to send an SOS signal from a phone can be a lifesaver for these kids.

That day is still far off but it is possible.And believe me,Kids are super smart and I am sure that my students will change their lives on their own. All i can do is give them that offbeat motivation.

And the crowd here is very good,Thanks.

Slightly off topic but there seems to be a historical love for past events and catastrophes,But the present is hidden from the limelight

This nuclear issue is like a trickling bomb for the past 40 years.

Understanding speed or how the shapes and shadows work outside.. I believe education lies beyond the walls of a classroom.

One anecdote: i once taught kids multiplication and speed with walking and running as the base exercises... They understood in no time, of course tech could have helped making it easier but there is hardly any tech which the children conceptualise,would be great though

One huge solar storm may be enough to cripple our networks for a good amount of time.... Now this leads me to ask,what happens to the dams,nuclear plants when a very power solar burst hits them

Sometimes I cannot fathom the depth of laziness we have gone into,But hey.. Laziness has been the driving force for the evolution of humans

In the far off rural areas where connectivity is almost nil,The doctors rarely go to the hospitals and the doctor's assistant does more work,becoming at par with the doctors in a few years.

Not exactly thinking of a visualiser but it would be interesting to see how one could actually do that

How Cuba DIY's its existence Quite bunch of interesting hackers

On a side note: Earlier the tribals used to negotiate when there was a fight or crime,But once the police station opened the people seem to netgotiate less and use a third party to resolve the issue

There is still a huge population which wants basic phones as a backup atleast. There are places in india where electricity is not so easy to get and the monthly salary is still under 100$ The senior citizens even though have migrated to smartphones stil are in the dire need of a durable small phone.

I feel apple may also jump in with a luxury feature phone,Just a matter of time
