We all laugh at Little Britain’s wheelchair-bound Andy Pipkin when he constantly retorts ‘Yea – I know’ to just about everything his selflessly dedicated carer Lou says to him. That’s because he clearly doesn’t listen, doesn’t understand, and plainly doesn’t really know at all.

To be open to the learning process, we must be careful not to subconsciously assume that we know all about something, when often our understanding of a subject is quite limited. Two people might both have the same amount of knowledge on a topic, but the one who feels he/she knows least and is open-minded to learning more will ultimately be the better educated one, with a much deeper comprehension.

We can’t objectively absorb information if we adopt an ‘I know’ attitude. Simply assuming that tells our brain not to bother paying attention, so it becomes physically impossible to learn anything new. This limits our knowledge to a more superficial level than we might have developed.

We might be physically present at a study session, but new information is likely to pass us by when we’re viewing a lesson from a ‘know it all’ perspective. What’s the betting that we could have gleaned more, and used our time more wisely if we’d had the presence of mind to be receptive.

Some people learn new things every year, whereas others just experience the same thing year after year. To get more out of life (and learning), adopt a child-like, inquisitive attitude. That way you’ll see things that others miss, and add more depth and breadth to your personality.

Going over something several times can really enhance your involvement in the subject. Looking at something again with a fresh pair of eyes and a willingness to find out more can be really enjoyable. Re-watching a DVD of a stand-up comedian proves this point – we rarely get all the meat out of one viewing, and many subtleties are missed the first time around.

Sometimes, reviewing information challenges our current understanding. We then need to dig in further, to test whether we had understood something correctly, or whether we need to modify our original thoughts. Only an open-minded approach will solidify knowledge at this level.

Society has developed over the years because of open-minded people keen to progress the thinking of their age. Those who ‘know everything’ can never improve, and their ‘knowledge’ becomes stagnant. Those who embrace the ideas and wisdom of others become the most valuable people on earth.

Every teenager uses the standard default response ‘I know’ to anything they don’t wish to discuss further, or answer questions about. To the teacher or parent, the ’speak to the hand’ retort tends to stir accusations of ‘To know and not to do is not to know!’ and stalemate ensues.

We can’t objectively absorb information if we adopt an ‘I know’ attitude. Simply assuming that tells our brain not to bother paying attention, so it becomes physically impossible to learn anything new. This limits our knowledge to a more superficial level than we might have developed.

Even if we still go through the motions of a teaching session, with a ‘know it all’ attitude we’re unlikely to remember if anything new is covered. It’s a pretty safe bet that even when we do ‘know’ something about a subject, there’s still more to learn and finer points of distinction to understand.

School’s never out for the professional, and it’s a fact that everyone in the world knows something that you don’t know, however clever you are. Keeping an open mind yields new perspectives and avenues that weren’t seen before, and this can lead to a deeper understanding all-round.

Over the centuries, people have progressed by sharing ideas and exploring new things. Yet towards the end of the nineteenth century, members of the Patent Office in America thought they would soon be closing, as all new ideas and inventions had already been thought of! Don’t trap your mind with the same level of thinking – say ‘I’m interested’ not ‘I know’.

Brace yourself for a frightening name. Are you ready? Advanced Mezzanine Cards. Never heard of an Advanced MC (thats how people in the know refer to them)? Relax, because youre in the majority ” unless youre in the IT sector or maintain a mainframe. Advanced MCs are used to augment the power and usability of a motherboard. They reduce the operating costs for businesses, while reducing the disruptions incurred by system upgrades and maintenance.

Hot swap-ability is a key component that makes the Advanced MC so attractive. This means it can use a telecommunications platform to send and receive information. This makes data upgrades and retrieval move at the speed of light ” so to speak. They offer mainframes and motherboards alike higher bandwidth, integrated system management, and higher power yields.

That sounds impressive and it is, go ask your computer geek friend and watch him or her stumble around like Jerry Lewis. You can also tell him or her (trust me, he or she will know) that these Advanced MCs enhance the salient features of ATCA platforms (dont ask) and specific mezzanine cards, like the PICMG AMC.0 card, AMC.1 card, AMC.2 card, AMC.3 card, and AMC.4 card. Your friend will be flabbergasted you bothered to make this clear and you can enjoy a brief moment as King of the Geeks.

An Advanced MC can be used as a main controller, data server, traffic processor, and media processor. Impossible you say? That’s what they told Edison when he said he cold harness electricity. These Advanced MCs are popular with military, law enforcement, government, transportation, avionics, and carrier-grade telecommunications agencies and subsequent mainframes. Motherboards? We don’t need your stinkin’ motherboards — we’ve got Advanced MCs!

Early in 2008, the leading technology website, EG3.com, awarded the Advanced MCs manufactured by Kontron the Editors Choice award. These mezzanine cards are designed to meet the needs of businesses that demand faster time-to-market turn-arounds. Nothing will synergize a mainframe faster and more efficiently. Kontron is a leading mezzanine card manufacturer that started revolutionizing the computer industry as early as 1962. Thats ancient history in computer terms and their longevity is a good key to their success.
