The ANT teacher.Pages

learning from everything is the attribute of an observant and inquiring mind.

The inquiring mind is however not tuned to finding solutions - and is restricted by time or opportunities, until the success in terms of observation is served in a platter.

To my inquiring mind has been the persistent question: As to who this ant is: the white ant.. Termite or the red ant.
Probably it is red ant… as shows the picture sketched by Ndubuisi Ekekwe thoughts, or the illustration on HBR site. I believe the white ant is much better networked.

The technology has it that the ANTs has given to the premise of ANT theory.
Quote
“Actor–network theory (ANT) is an approach to social theory and a research methodology, originating in the field of science studies, which is based on two key principles; putting all the factors involved in a social situation on the same level and doing away with the concept of social forces.”

Attribues of ANT’s formation as visualised by Ndubuisi Ekekwe: Openness, Trust, Partnering, TEAMS, being focussed, diligence and Re-organisation are paradigms the society already is aware of. It is probably the discipline which was not observed…. and this is unbecoming in ANTS, but never less than a leader question for common man?

Engineers’ tough tasks and Dichotomies..Pages

Driving an Engineer to success so dear, dear
It calls for an engine, put in front or rear,
As pulling is easier, while it has no weight to bear!
Ah! Bookish impacts and principles are so queer,
At times, it puts all common science to tears!

The Transformation.Pages

There was a pinky-healthy butterfly ,
Which, as yet, could not fly,
Nor could it flap its wings,
Cause it hadn’t been thru’ Larva, Pupa and things!

The ‘other thing’ is termed as ‘Transformation’,
An Innovative Change from erstwhile formation.

Wiki acclaims her, for her ingenuity,
to aptly apply scientific knowledge
towards developing robust solutions
for social and techno-commercial problems.
