Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?

"Did you know the average person spends 4 years of his life looking down at a cell phone?" Tell us something we don't already know - it's crazy. American rapper and activist, Prince Ea gives us a poignant 'spoken word' speech in this viral vid about auto-correcting humanity and why he won't let technology control him...

Why I Hate School But Love Education||Spoken Word

Lol, if this vid looks and sounds familiar that's because it's based on another vid by Jeffereson Bethke's - "Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus".  Great vid by-the-way from this UK Spoken Word artist.






As the cyclical and seemingly never ending debate about education rages on, the topic - somewhat ironically, often poses more questions than it provides answers.

But what is the value of mainstream schooling? Why is it that some of the most high profile and successful figures within the Western world openly admit to never having completed any form of higher learning?

Paying homage to Jefferson Bethke's "Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus", a piece that received 22 million views in the space of a week, I address a number of these issues in my offering "Why I Hate School, but Love Education".


With scores of school leavers wanting to further their education with no guarantee of their dream job at the end of it, we should ask ourselves whether qualifications still hold the same value now as they did in previous years?

Does success in the school system correlate to success in life? Or is the school system simply geared towards fact retention and regurgitation?

What is true education?
