Alvin Toffler
Does anyone out in the bloggy-sphere do any creative thinking exercises? I am trying to get the children to think differently about problems. Now they are pretty good at thinking and creating and they certainly ask plenty of questions so maybe I am wasting my time or worrying unnecessarily, but I think they need to practice a bit. A very kind neighbour gave us this book which has some fantastic games with it. Does anyone have any other ideas?
From his website:
"The behaviour of self-organising information systems like the human brain demands new ideas and new possibilities. Otherwise we are locked into old patterns. We are also locked into selective perception which forces us to see things only through the old patterns.
Two thousand years ago China was far ahead of the rest of the world in science and technology. This rapid progress came to an end when scholars started to believe that you could move from “certainty” to “certainty”. As a result they never understood the importance of “possibility” and “hypothesis”. Progress came to a dead end. Today we are in a similar situation with the belief that analysis of information is enough."
