DON'T STOP USING YOUR BRAIN !
Learning is different in the age of Artificial Intelligence. If you want to know the capital of Idaho ( Boise ) , you simply ask your phone. That is wonderfully convenient and has great value . But does that mean we should stop using our brains ? Absolutely not ! United States' schoolchildren used to know the states' capitals because they memorized them . It would be a travesty if the trend in schools today to eliminate memorization and test taking were to continue. In fact it would be wise to recognize the Zeitgeist , which tells us that we are in a time that makes it important to keep exercising your brain. Fill it with MORE information. As powerful as it is , AI gets things wrong all the time. If your phone tells you that the capital of Idaho is Boston , will you catch the error? With today's advanced technology you can ( and should ) learn all of the state capitals of the United States in minutes . You can memorize and quickly learn about many more interesting subjects and support the mission of this site by becoming a member .
Below are datasets , divided by subject , on many interesting branches of study. The Zeitgeist Learning/ Memorization App makes quickly learning facts efficient , yes even fun . We use the age-old tested , deceptively simple , quiz architecture. The multiple-choice matrix. Usually there are five options : a single , randomly-placed , correct answer alongside four distinct, algorithmically selected "decoy" answers. For five-choice , the probability of guessing correctly drops to 20%.
Running through quizzes is easy and fast. Make your choice , if it turns green – correct – go to next –if it is red – incorrect – try again. Choose again until you get it right , and each time you learn more . A simple and fast but effective way to memorize data and learn facts . When you are motivated to learn , you quickly cycle through and it is like a workout for your brain .
