Summary:-
In this article, the author said that a social network such as Facebook teaches people how to organize the knowledge even it is not clear to them, because the information is already out, and people have to find it. And then Google opens you to a very huge amount of information, and what you have to do is just filter it and get what you need. After that learners need to take control of their own learning. Also, culture change is hard, but with the 21st century all of us are learning even professionals, because there is no limitation. Moreover, he said that technology is the only thing changed, and the best way to handle it is changing from pushing to pulling. Finally, he said the best summary is pull vs. push.
Reaction:-
In this article, the author talked about one of the biggest issues in these days, but in my opinion his article is weak. First of all, the author did not give us a clear answer for his questions, and he wrote about social network that helps us to organize information. But I did not find that in his article. I really like his idea about stop pushing and start pulling, but he could not support his idea very well. Yet he gave a good example for his idea, which is about the Google engine, and he asked us to stop pushing information on children, and I like that. But people are not the same, and you cannot make sure that all of them will get correct information. So, if you give all people the freedom, we will find many people have wrong information, and they will have an easy excuse which is “I found it on the Internet”. Especially with children, if you stop pushing, they will not get anything good. So, in my opinion what we have to do is learning the new technology, and make sure that we search in good sources. Also, we still have to push information because if we stop, the next generation will not be able to take any information from any person.
