I'd rather spend my deduction and imagination time on problem solving than information gathering.
Or to be more specific: I'd rather spend my deduction and imagination time engaged with my peers on solving problems, than sitting in quiet contemplation of information that I do not have convenient access to.
- mquander 17y agoAs for myself, I'd say I prefer the opposite. There's something to be said for personal & solitary contemplation.
- dgallagher 17y agoPerhaps it's just your standard introvert vs. extrovert style of thinking? Everybody's different. :)
- gambling8nt 17y agoWhy is your "deduction and imagination" time a fixed quantity? The thrust of the argument in favor of learning through books rather than the internet is that you will spend an equal amount of external problem solving time, but more internal problem solving time as part of the information gathering process.
- roc 17y agoBecause all my time is a fixed quantity? I'd like to live forever; I just don't think it's going to work out. ;) And I don't see any reason to prefer internal problem solving to external problem solving. If anything, I would lean toward external problem solving, as I believe very strongly that interacting with my peers has made me far better at it.
