"What is a machine?"
Mr. Rigid Engineeringg Professor, we know Machines but you seem to be a slave of Archaic Society.
CLIP 2. 3 IDIOTS, Workshop scene
This scene deals with present education system in India(Circa 2009) where getting more marks & better grades is superior to gaining knowledge/ Skill & cramming up concepts is of more utility than understanding what it means.
This simple clip embodies how creative thinking is frowned upon in engineering colleges where as non- sensible cramming is not only recommended by professors but also praised.
Truth is showcased here: economically backward undergards committing suicides, mercenary professors devoid of encouragement, no support for creative talents who can really change society for good. Are graduates supposed to learn by exploring or refurnish stacked notes of repeating answers?
Not only are we entertained, we are also enlightened. The shortcomings, demerits of cognitive learning system is not openly exposed but also elevated to such a level that cold-hearted staunch rote learners would cringe at many scenes.
Now that I have come of age & reaching my mid 20's I am able to appreciate the effort of such people who strive for making education fun & worthwile. If you praise crammers then you should also talk about a 'book' in a defnitive jargon filled exagerratingly technical way. Why keep it simple?
Ha ha he he..... Sorry, but this clip is unbelievably funny. The analogy of a zipper as a simple machine is superb yet observant. The claasroom dynamics, giggles, humility, embarassment, rebellion, sarcasm are on target here. The message is conveyed wrapped in a hilarious assortment of routine glooms and joys of engineer grad students. Not just food for thought but for your funny bone too.
We do have a sense of humour along with a fuuny bone, right?
Or are we a system of interconnected organs constrained to change input into output like pulleys, levers, gear, axles, lathes........making hum dum noises.
We have to avoid becoming exactly the kind of a teacher that is ridiculed here.
All is well.
