When watching the interview, one of the first things that surprised me was that Cuero wrote a book as an intellectual exercise. When thinking about it, it is definetly a good way to show off your knowledge to others. Not anyone can write a well written biography and talk about some of the things that was written. I also thought that the universal consciousness was interesting. It makes sense that when thinking universally, possibilities open up that were not open before. When local expectations are surpassed, one is no longer limited by what society tells you to do or be. Lastly, I thought his idea of learning by doing was very important. Personally, when I am learning to do something, it is very important to me to redo it multiple times. Since I am a visual learner, I think it is one step further since you see it multple times.

There was one idea mentioned that I had to disagree with though. I do not believe that computers and electronics are making kids less creative. It is what the kids do with these electronics that are making them less creative. When kids just play games or surf the web for funny pictures, nothing is being done. However, these electronics can be used to be creative and come up with ideas. Not only can one search the web and learn from others, but one can learn about how the machine works and come up with better ways it can run.
