Computer Educational Series
We are producing a series of online educational videos. We have just begun, and
are offering these programs free of charge. We are currently developing programs
to help people to use computers, from beginning to advanced. When this has
been completed, we will develop a series for homeschoolers, and later, move to
an online medical school, to be used in conjunction with assistantships.
In analyzing the root causes of social dysfunction, we have traced the solution
to methods of education. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand
words. But a moving picture accompanied by auditory words may be worth 100,000
words.
If we examine the history of human development over millions of years, we have
evolved to learn through sights and sounds. The printed word is a very recent
development. One can read well, yet learn poorly by reading. This may well be an
innate property of the brain, as opposed to a fault in education.
With our advances in technology, we can put a 30 volume set of encyclopedias on
a single CD ROM. But we need to go further. If we are to make a quantum leap in
education, we must put training programs in audio-visual format on compressed
media.
We have the capability now. We can put an entire medical-school curriculum in an
engaging audio-visual format that is easily downloadable, on a few CD ROMs. This
can be supplemented by hands-on assistantships in ones local area.
The implications are enormous. If we can greatly accelerate the assimilation of
factual information, then we will have much more time and energy for creative
work. If we are to solve the problems of disease, environmental pollution,
education, energy, and fair government, we will need to expand our capacity for
invention.
Many of the educational systems in place today are so laborious, inefficient and
cumbersome, that they interfere with the mind’s creative capacity. Furthermore,
on a global scale, they are inaccessible to most people. We can quickly turn
that around.
