The Future of Indonesian Children
Laughing, can't answer.
At first I thought this was a joke, or he pretended not to know. But the questioner said this was a serious question that was asked. For some things that I think, at that age I should have been able to answer quickly, but the child was unable to answer them. This is if we talk about underdeveloped areas. Now, is it because children now depend on calculators, does it have an effect on technology?
It does have an effect on technology. One thing we need to know is the adage that the brain must always be sharpened. That's very true. When we are born, the brain is like the term, smooth, like that. So just by doing certain things over and over again, the abilities in our brain are formed.
Well, so if we don't use it for a long time, it can also disappear over time. The brain is like plastic, and so with plastic there are good and bad things. I mean the definition of plastic is that it is very easy like wax. So it is actually easy to process, like that.
So the brain can follow its environment. But I emphasize, don't let us think that Indonesian children are not smart, that is very important. I can be honest, if I may, I really, really disagree and invite everyone to talk about IQ. Many people like to say that the IQ of Indonesians is 78.49. Sispanse has 90, put 80 on average. That means we are actually inferior to Sispanse. But I wrote down the names of the researchers, Richard Lien, and David Backer.
Yes, he mentioned the intelligence of Indonesians compared to several gens. I don't know if this is valid or not, but then it became a joke. But it was not associated with the story that was told, where the children were asked something simple, he could solve it.
Greetings always compact.
