>You would have had a largely analogue childhood, what's your excuse

My spatial awareness is good, my memory is very selective. When I was a kid, I spent my days largely alone - perhaps it meant I didn't have to remember much :D

i think a large part of spatial awareness is having a rich imagination - being fed the space means not having to build it. School encourages the filling of formulas, not the creation of formulas. There is very little to encourage looking for new, it is just about reinforcing what has already been discovered. Sure, that past is important to build the future, but without the tools to innovate, not much good it does. 


Depending on how much the world changes, she will read all this and say, "Dad, WTF were you thinking back then?" :D<div class="pull-right"><a href="/@hive.engage">![](https://i.imgur.com/XsrNmcl.png)</a></div>
