Information is Nourishment

Hello Everyone,

Well, our SEN value today is Information is Nourishment.

Reminds me of the old movie Short Circuit about a robot from an assembly line that got zapped and became alive. He constantly said, "Input. Input" and was starving for information and knowledge. He couldn't get enough.

This is the Age of Information. We can look up anything and everything on the web. A friend of mine told his son that he would give him $100 if he could find a name of something that wasn't a domain name....meaning that it wasn't a web address. Try it! The son couldn't find one.

I love being able to look up everything and anything instantly. One of the best things we can do for our youth is help them be internet-savy. And show them how to access computers for free in their local libraries.

As for ourselves, information feeds us too. We can look up youth development skills on line and other youth centers and information about mental disorders and medications and anything!!

You can even google yourself! I looked up my house on zillow.com and there was a photo of it...with my son't girlfriend's car in front of it!

I love learning and information. To instill a hunger for information in our youth is a great goal. And then teaching them how to find that knowledge...trips to libraries and museums, true life movies, how-to books, there is an endless supply.

Be excited about knowledge and it will be contagious.

Let me know what works!
