Discussion on knowledge accumulation and Innovation

Recently, some netizens have raised this concern: if there is too much existing knowledge, will it be overwhelmed by this knowledge and lose its own innovation. This kind of worry is also excited. Even Master Li Yu is reluctant to use computers. He thinks that there is too much knowledge available from the Internet, and the information explosion makes people unable to tell the diamond and shit, it will drive people crazy.

 

But I think this is just an escape, an excuse for not understanding new things. There are a wide variety of products in supermarkets, and no one will buy them all. Does anyone complain that there are too many products. In the same way, if you have more knowledge, you can choose more. This is a good thing. You don't have to learn all about it. Just learn what you need. If you think of a person who loves to learn as a person without innovation, the person who loves to learn will never be more creative than the person who loves to learn.

 

Will we be overwhelmed by knowledge? Throughout history, human beings have had such subjective worries many times and ultimately prove that these worries are redundant. People have feared that the industrial revolution will bring about a substantial increase in productivity, resulting in unemployment of a large number of workers and social unrest. Similarly, people have similar concerns about the information technology revolution. However, both of them greatly increase the automation of various jobs, but they do not bring people worried about unemployment and turmoil. On the contrary, they have created more job opportunities and more prosperous society. With the rise of the Internet, there is no terrorist scene of information explosion. On the contrary, it has become an indispensable assistant to us. We are happy with it.

 

Of course, some people are eliminated because they cannot adapt to the corresponding changes, but more people benefit from this. History is moving forward, and Qingshan cannot be swept away. After all, the East flow is gone. Reading a book may turn into a nerd. This is not a mistake in the book itself. It cannot be because one of the 100 readers recommends that you do not read books. Just as we can't make everyone stop eating seafood because someone is allergic to seafood.

 

Knowledge accumulation is essential at all times. Knowledge accumulation is very important. It is the basis of innovation, not a stumbling block to innovation. People without ideas do not read books, do not think, or innovate. If you have ideas, the more you read, the more you think. The more you think, the more you innovate.

 

Einstein said that imagination is more important than knowledge. I think his idea is that knowledge is important, and imagination will be icing on the cake. Without knowledge, you have no imagination. Can Einstein think of the theory of relativity without the li-ry? Can we imagine a non-European ry without the large ry?

 

Newton also said that he was able to achieve such a great achievement because he stood on the shoulders of giants. Looking at the background of Newton's life, he will understand the truth: If there is no foundation laid by the predecessors of coobny, Galileo, and others, without the hard work of Newton when he was young, let him build a car behind closed doors, I think his imagination is so powerful that Apple breaks his brain and he cannot think of universal gravitation.

 

Genius is important, and cultivation of genius is more important. Knowledge will cultivate the soil of genius, Florence, Italy, talent generation. Almost all famous artists in history have gathered experience from their predecessors. Instead of being overwhelmed by knowledge, they absorb the essence of this knowledge and create new miracles. Even if it is a genius, do not study hard, do not attract the experience of the predecessors, the result must be like fang Zhongyong in "injury Zhong Yong", the talent is slowly exhausted, and eventually become a mediocre talent.

 

The historical story may seem too far away. Let's take a look at the development of IT technology over the past few years. It may give us more inspiration.

 

Object-oriented technology is one of the most important innovations in IT history. However, object-oriented technology is by no means born. It is hard to imagine that there will be a technology like object-oriented. The transition from process-oriented to object-oriented is painful. Some people even think that this is two unrelated technologies. In fact, more than 70% of the content in object-oriented technology is process-oriented, but it deliberately emphasizes that it is different from process-oriented, and gives an illusion. In object-oriented programming, is a function removed? Is the data structure removed? These are all content oriented to the process, but they are changed in appearance, and qualitative changes occur. This is innovation. Those are the pioneers of object-oriented technology, and they have never been process-oriented masters.

 

Like some other popular technologies, such as contractual programming, AOP, UML, XP, and other methods or technologies, and new-generation programming languages such as C # and Java, none of which are based on previous experiences, improved and innovated. In these instances, there is no evidence that the accumulation of knowledge hinders innovation, and there is no evidence that the knowledge left by our predecessors is too much, so let's stop, isn't it? Technology is growing faster, not slower.

 

The e won't think that the sky is too broad, the whale won't blame the sea for too far-reaching, and the programmer won't blame Google for finding too many answers. There is a lot of knowledge, not terrible. I learned a lot, not terrible. The knowledge you have learned will only stimulate your creativity, and will not hinder your creativity. It is important to have your own goals and directions for learning so that you will not be lost in the ocean of knowledge, so that you can learn more in a limited time.
