Mr. Steinberg's Famous Sayings/Expressions

"Put yourself in a place that you will not get in trouble!"

When things are out of balance, bad things happen!

Be prepared for anything!

Never say never!

Explain today's technology to someone from 50 years ago. What would someone who lived 50 years in the future tell you about their technology?

Always, ask yourself if you are on the right side of history? How do you think history will judge you based on your own views, opinions, and beliefs? What do you want your legacy to be? How do you want to be remembered? 

Everything is connected from the quark of an atom inside your eye to the biggest galaxy and the whole universe:

*50 years ago*

Grandfather: “What? You use calculators at school now? Gosh, what’s next…”

*20 years ago*

Father: “What? You use computers at school now? Gosh, my dad was right, what’s next…”

*2 years ago*

You: “What? You use WhatsApp to talk to your teacher? Gosh, what is this becoming!”

*20 years in the future*

Your daughter: “What? You haven’t spoken to your teacher in 2 months? How do you learn? You just write on Google’s notebook, and it answers everything? This is scary…”

It’s not scary. It’s a shift. Can you imagine a classroom without a teacher? Do you believe your great-grandchild would be taught well without guidance from a human teacher? This sounds super duper scary, right?

I agree, it does. But you know what? The idea that you could use a calculator at school was once as scary — Your grandfather would say that you’re not using your brain properly. They would say that this will create generations that don’t use their brains.

He was wrong, and we’re probably wrong as well. It’s the concept of change that scares us, not AI.

Google silently announced an experimental product called NotebookLM.

The concept is quite simple. Think of that diary in Harry Potter that he used to write in, then it would answer back (Not a Harry Potter fan? Meh, you’re not missing out that much. Here’s a picture.)

Everything is connected! 

There is no such thing as a stupid question or idea. What you may think is stupid is probably the same question everyone else has but are afraid to ask. I mean just look at this:

MARCUS: You got something to say, Kirk, say it. Tomorrow's too late.

KIRK: I'm fine, sir. My apologies.

MARCUS: Spit it out, son. Don't be shy.
