Auto: Learning through self-teaching and experimentation | Connor Edsall | TEDxHerndon

I went to University to receive an education and training in my chosen film. Unfortunately my University did not offer any practical education or training in my field. Thus I am stuck having to teach myself everything outside of school a seemingly never ending process that seems to be impossible.

I'm 29years old and I want to start learning coding, thank you.

Auto-didacts are immune from….indoctrination.

😢

i am a musician, sound designer audio engineer. i learned everything by my own. never had a mentor. and it worked for me. i have a incredibly strong desire to figure out certain things on my own.

What song is that?

Srinivasa Ramanujan the greatest autodidact ever.

I’m building my future through self-teaching. I believe learning is the best investment anyone can make. I hope to help others on their autodidact journey as well. 🙂

Eloquently stated.

Lovely piece of music too

I can’t stand TED talks!

Self education has always done people better then worse! Government needs to stay out of our lives!

How many of us are spectrum also?

School stunted my intellectual growth. Homework, deadlines, exams are bad

In the modern era, we don't have much of an excuse not to keep ourselves constantly informed, right?

Well, that is a decision concerning the quality of the information that is both contemporaneously available and how available that contemporaneous info is to the concerned individual.

Wouldn't one say?

HI

His voice is shaking and its giving me anxiety

Fantastic delivery my friend. Thank you for this fantastic presentation. Very inspiring indeed, thanks so much!

Two of the three examples were started with apprenticeships. That is not teaching yourself.
The Last was an example was self learning through necessity, a strong incentive I would say.
I can almost guarantee that every person you investigate started in their fields with these two set of circumstances. An apprenticeship or necessity.

Give this man more views

Well done sounds great 👍

He looks like Alisson Becker

You said it well "use precise launguage" just remember to breath. All the best!

School isnt bad, but the problem is when you loose your intelectual and creativity dies out with home work and grades.

I was homeschooled and I graduated high school at 13 because my mom didn’t like how the school held me back 2 years because they couldn’t accommodate my ADHD. SAT 2300. Autodidacts, out there, you’re amazing don’t let the system hold you back.

Any other autodidacts here?

Link to original video?

Excellent! It's not just about acquiring information, but about going out there and trying things out. In order to learn, conduct experiments.

Insightful Ted Talk
