Techniques, Inventions and the MoQ
For some reason that I don't know, I cant post this post in one time.. So I cut it in two parts. The first part you allready saw..The second part is added.
This is the second time I post a list about techniques here. This time I have added some more statements to the one I already had. Please read the eleven statements and give your comment.
--Statement 1:
"Techniques are ways of doing things."
Example:
If you use pointillism for making a painting you are working with a technique. Language is a communication technique.
--
Statement 2:
"Techniques are static patterns."
Example:
When building a house, you use certain agreements.(cable thickness, wall structure etc)
--
Statement 3:
"Technical equipment is 'a way of doing' captured in
material."
Example:
A Sander
--
Statement 4:
"Technical inventions or their ideas are results from quality events"
Example:
Edison's gramophone
--
Statement 5:
"The different techniques can be divided among the four different static levels"
Example:
A house is a shelter-technique done to help us at the biological Level. So is Central Heating.
Language is a technique to help us at the social level. So is the telephone.
A Calculator is a calculating technique captured in material to help us at the intellectual level.
--
Statement 6:
"If a technique is insufficient for you or you are not able to grasp it yet, three things can happen: 1) you get frustrated and drop a level. 2) Copy the technique and practice 3) You get creative and develop a new technique "
Example 1:
You want something from someone who doesn't speak your language:
1) you get frustrated and go biological. You push the dumb looking obstacle aside and grab your item.
2) You take out your dictionary to use 'his' communication technique..
3) You do something completely new. A moment later you have your item. Both laughing about your creative solution.
Example 2:
You are quite bad in mathematics and you need this skill for a certain problem.
1) You become popular and let the mathematic work be done for you.
2) You practice till you drop. Reading and working through every mathematical book you can lay your hands on.
3) You become enlightened and find an other solution for your problem. Not needing math anymore.
If this certain problem was school-based you have a little problem on your hand. Because 'we don't teach you how to solve problems. we teach you how to solve problems OUR WAY'
Which brings us to the next statement:
Statement 7:
"School is an education-technique that sprung from the social level."
Therefore school is the static pattern media. Its duty is to teach the techniques needed by the culture the school is in. Children who do not show the copy-behaviour we expect can be either 'dropping a level' or being in a quality-event. Because of this uncertainty
