"IMAGINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE"

i'm not sure if i agree with this statement, i mean ya people had to have a big imagination to be able to invent things and make inventions better. but to make something better you have understand it, you have to know how it works. sure you could just pull it up off the Internet, but what happens when your in a situation where there is no computer handy? as far as it changing the way education in America is being taught, i think that could be a problem. there are jobs like web design where imagination is important, but what about the millions of jobs that are asking that you just know the numbers or just know how to do something that you were supposed to learn in high school or college but you didn't. you relied on a computer instead of your brain and now someone who didn't rely on the computer is taking your paycheck. i think that computers are a great tool but they cant be the only tool.

Good point, I think finding the balance between the two is vital to being truly successful in today's world. Clearly, you need to be educated and have knowledge to get anywhere, but I think imagination the key if you want the best jobs and most success.
