Yes, Ken is absolutely right. I would like to motivate further, just take
a Hammer( which is a tool, that technology has given us), some people know
very well, How to pin down the nails with hammer and some people only know
to struck on the head..So, it also matters, How we are handling the
technology, that is being given to us by our ancestors?..therefore best
learning method is important and here, the most important aspects to us,
Human Intelligence is imporant, that How we are behaving with our own
technology?
