Anytime you increase the flow, you increase efficiency. When you increase the flow of thought you increase the abilities to teach and to learn. We are learning more and more about the brain, its capacity and how humans learn each day with the modern techniques of MRI and other innovative technologies. Now I would like to discuss the value in these possible future innovations and how they will affect the changes in education. There are so many theories in schooling on the best way to teach little humans and re-educate adults, but all brains and people do not exactly think the same. Connections are made through memorizing by association, alliteration and rote memorization and countless other ways. What we need to be careful of brain washing our brains to think in unnatural ways and to believe that everything we learn is truth. The basic reasoning on this is that ‘truth is relative’ and a relative story is the one about the elephant where if asked to describe it while blind folded and you are holding onto a leg, you might say it is like tree trunk the tail a rope and the tusk a solid pointed rock. None are incorrect, but in the same regard none are absolutely correct. It is therefore apparent that blindfolds will keep us from the closest possible relative truth.
