![]() Thus, NetFlow can be used for performance analysis, intrusion / threat detection, and so one. Memory Learning means that you have remember a certain of core facts and understanding.For example, I have memorised information about how NetFlow contains protocol flow information, the different record types, and that IOS needs configuration.Ĭomprehension means that I understand the application of the information. There are two parts to this definition of learning, memory and comprehension. Indeed, the ability to winnow through information and extract relevant material is a skill in itself, but the real key is to work out what you need to learn and what you need to be able to reference if you need it later. This requires a different technique to what I was taught at school and university.Įxperience has taught me that most of this information is not relevant or practical. ![]() When I am designing a new technology, I must work through large quantities of material before extracting those nuggets that solve the design problem. Depending on the project, I can spend up to 14 hours a day reading and researching information. For example, I understand Darwinian principles, and basic biology, but this represents less than 20% of the Biology learning I received at school.Īs a Network Engineer / Architect / Designer (1), I need to ingest knowledge constantly and in large quantities. I don’t regret learning these topics, but retaining this knowledge for instant and permanent recall has limited value to me. Thus, learning Maths, Biology etc was all taught as if this was the only thing in your life. In my traditional education, knowledge was to ingested as permanent ‘for life’ basis (something like a mission critical education). He makes things up for a living, we work with facts.īut it made me think about knowledge ingestion. It’s a good enough article, although Nick Carr is a little high-minded and supercilious to make real sense to those of us at the coal face of knowledge working. Recently, Nick Carr prognosticated that the Internet (via Google et al) is making us stupid. How can we manage this process to be more effective ? Worse we even get tested on it by sitting formal examinations. What is unique, however, is that we continue to ingest knowledge for the remainder of our careers – often consuming large portions of our personal time and energy. Without that knowledge, there is no working in our business. Like many tech-workers, we need to ingest vast quantities of knowledge to get started in our jobs.
