‘Google Generation’ Become Brain Dead
Yes , people lose creativity by referring to Google at the drop of a hat , never trying to use their brains or creativity.
People do not know the Multiplication Tables , Fractions even.
In fact I calculate additions and subtraction, Multiplication and Division faster than by using the Calculator(basic, limited to two digits)
Reason .
We studied Tables, rather learnt them by heart.
Trevor Baylis, inventor of the wind up radio, has warned the internet is leaving children ‘brain-dead’ ‘One of Britain’s leading inventors has warned that a ‘Google generation‘ who rely on the internet for everything are in danger of becoming ‘brain-dead’.
Trevor Baylis, who invented the wind-up radio, said children are losing creativity and practical skills because they spend too much time in front of screens.
The 75-year-old said he fears that the next generation of inventors is being lost, with young people often unable to make anything with their hands.
‘They are dependent on Google searches. A lot of kids will become fairly brain-dead if they become so dependent on the internet, because they will not be able to do things the old-fashioned way.’
Recalling how his career had its roots in the very different world in which he grew up, he said he was about five or six years old when he began to invent devices. ‘During the war, when I was not at school I used to go out and collect the rubbish,’ said Mr Baylis.
‘One day I was out and went to this house around the corner from where I grew up in Southall, Middlesex, and this lady said, “I’ve got a box of stuff for you Trev, you’d better get a wheelbarrow.” So I picked up this thing and on the way back I was intrigued and I looked inside and it turned out to be a huge Meccano set.
‘If I wanted to make a five-wheeled motor car then I could, or a forklift truck. And that’s really what it is about, because that stays with you all of your life.’
The inventor, who was awarded the OBE in 1997, believes that simple challenges in schools using tools such as Meccano model kits would give children invaluable skills.
He said: ‘With Meccano you could do your own reproduction of, say, the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
‘If you brought Meccano back into primary or secondary schools then you’d have class one against class two – you’ve got four hours to make the Sydney Harbour Bridge and we’ll see which one is the strongest.’
Many of Mr Baylis’s inventions have been gadgets to help the disabled.
He recalled how much of his motivation came from an accident when he was working as a circus stunt man.
He said: ‘I did an underwater escape act in a Berlin circus in 1970. When I was in the circus I had a very passionate affair with an aerial ballet star, a lovely girl from Vienna.
‘One night, she bounced off the net and hit the side and died halfway through the show and it broke my heart.
‘I suddenly realised disability is only a banana skin away.’
Mr Baylis still has a workshop where he works on his inventions at his home in Twickenham, south-west London. He is currently lobbying the Government to do more to protect the intellectual property of inventors.

Prophet ‘womanising Movie”We were misled’ Turning Yellow?
The Artistes apparently scared for their Life, have now came out with a bizarre defense that they were ‘misled’ and were unaware what the Movie was all about.
If they are sincere, they should have said so the moment they saw the finished rushes of the Film.
Who knows they might say they were not shown that either!
As I said earlier , they are not artistes.
Now it transpires they are not Human!
Story:
The story of the Muhammed movie which sparked deadly protests in Libya and Egypt gets weirder. The actors who appeared in it had no idea they were starring in anti-Islam propaganda which depicts Muhammed as a child molester and thug. They were deceived by the film’s director, believing they were appearing in a film about the life of a generic Egyptian 2,000 years ago.
Cindy Lee Garcia, an actress from Bakersfield, Calif., has a small role in the Muhammed movie as a woman whose young daughter is given to Muhammed to marry. But in a phone interview this afternoon, Garcia told us she had no idea she was participating in an offensive spoof on the life of Muhammed when she answered a casting call through an agency last summer and got the part.
The script she was given was titled simply Desert Warriors.
“It was going to be a film based on how things were 2,000 years ago,” Garcia said. “It wasn’t based on anything to do with religion, it was just on how things were run in Egypt. There wasn’t anything about Muhammed or Muslims or anything.”
In the script and during the shooting, nothing indicated the controversial nature of the final product, now called Muslim Innocence. Muhammed wasn’t even called Muhammed; he was “Master George,” Garcia said. The words Muhammed were dubbed over in post-production, as were essentially all other offensive references to Islam and Muhammed….
The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose. We are shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred.
Update II: Here’s what appears to be the original casting call, posted in July 2011on craigslist:
