With the accelerated growth of the internet has come the understanding that the internet is a giant black hole of spare time; it's origins as a time-saving device have always been in question. In this post, I will add to that by 12 minutes 54 seconds.
I stumbled across an interesting google video with a Japanese connection. I guiltily admit I watched the whole clip. It really is quite a mesmerizing.
At the end of each section you will see and here "Pitagora-Suicchi!" These small spots are actually part of NHK's children's show "Pythagoras Switch", or in Japanese "Pitagora-Suicchi." An image can be seen above. It aims to try to make science fun for kids. Below is the translated quote from their official website:
Within our daily lives, which we go about without thinking much about the many mysteries, archetypes, themes and more varied ways of thought. For example, have you ever thought why waffles are always the same shape? Behind it all is the concept of "having a shape". There all sorts of these archetypes/shapes: in print, in mass-produced goods and whatnot. Understanding these these ahapes lets you grasp how these things work. "Pythagoras Switch" wants to help kids have that moment of A-HA! We want to raise thinking about thinking, to flip that epiphany switch in every child.
