"Education can not download".

Is Ringelnatz a fur-bearing animal? Googling can be everything - but that does not replace a real knowledge says Günther Jauch. On blogs ONLINE betrays the moderator, as lazy as a student he was, why he is using the Internet for a garbage dump and how to keep his quiz in the EUR one million abräumt.

 

blogs ONLINE: Mr. Jauch you were a good student?


Günther Jauch: Any mediocre, at the end I went with a glorious free 3.1-graduation from high school. I knew in school exactly what interests me and what not. German, I found great political world customer and biology as some, but in many other subjects, I am almost at the refusal vorbeigeschrammt.

blogs ONLINE: You have your times of laziness theory spoken.


Jauch: My strategy was just so much to learn that it is just so for the next exam and a smooth transfer ranges. I have the knowledge functionalized and tried to work with as little effort by the school to come. It was soon clear that I would not be a physicist or a classicist. I wanted to become a journalist, and had not worked, I would be perhaps a policeman or detective has become a banker.


blogs ONLINE: They wanted to be a banker?


Jauch: Business, I found exciting, and I could imagine at a bank to work. I then studied law and politics, the university, however,
soon leave me after the Munich School of Journalism has. Since then I have really wohlgefühlt. The practical orientation was much larger than at the university and the teaching very tightly organized, almost like at the school, only that I was interested in everything this time. My laziness could not unfold, I was somewhat hard to be forced, by internal motivation.

blogs ONLINE: Is that your career tip for all waverers: Be lazy, the pleasure comes from yourself?


Jauch: Do not. I want my own convenience of previously not even in retrospect nice talk. I think that by after school every so slowly into the Slippers come. A fulfilled life is not without effort, and I say of myself that I am in the first 20 years of lazy and in the last 30 was pretty busy. My second half of life I like better.


blogs ONLINE: Do you know a lot to succeed?


Jauch: Let's put this way: Knowledge will not hurt. Of course there are exceptions. In "Who wants to be a millionaire" I was once a candidate who, I asked: By what procedure is sent in ancient Athens his fellow citizens into exile? The four responses were jelly, executioner meal, ostracism and barbecue plates. The lady greatly tended to the grill plate. She asked the audience for help and it came at the last moment or the right answer: ostracism. At the end she went
yet with one million mark at home, partly because she was clever, but above all bravely, had the right instincts and to the best of luck. This mixture can, in extreme cases, very far, not only in my shipment.


blogs ONLINE: Is that what you ask the candidates, part of education?


Jauch: Only partly. I do so no education program, but entertainment. It is rather fragmented knowledge. If you are familiar with popular themes like sports, music, film and television halfway familiar, you very well at the beginning on. Only the difficult questions later when it comes to the millions approaching, I would rather be attributed to the education, knowledge of the classical canon. What is surprising is that even experts are confused when they are with their specialty are confronted. I had a German teacher in my program that did not Ringelnatz for a writer, but for a fur-bearing animal.


blogs ONLINE: In real life you would have quickly gegoogelt.


Jauch: If you have found the answer quickly, but the Internet is tricky when it comes to knowledge goes. It leads to the misconception that we need nothing more, and therefore nothing more to learn. Is everything in the computer. I think this is too simplistic, because the network is rather an informal garbage dump, and very chaotic. Against this information only helps chaos education, because if I use the Key of scrap wants, I have to know basic relationships. Education can not be downloaded. And I have a general problem with people who are proud that they do not read newspapers and only online information - but newspapers are required to participate in the culture and society. All pupils and students, I can only say: Read More Newspapers!


blogs ONLINE: Is not that a call from the 20th Century?

Jauch: Absolutely not. Newspapers make a selection from the thousand things that happen every day, they sort messages, assign them a comment and tell stories in wonderful stories. The course is also part of the web, but there are only the images of line about "the most common tricks of Evolution" clicks, has only a limited knowledge. No news medium can be as good backgrounds make clear how a newspaper.


blogs ONLINE: Nevertheless, the number of newspaper readers back. Is this an indication that we are facing a flood of information capitulate?


Jauch: I'm not a cultural pessimists, formerly was not anything better. There are studies from the fifties, which shows that German graduates in mathematics at that time were absolutely riveting. It is not always worse. Today, the PISA study shows that our students are not stupid than before, but not necessarily wiser.

Monet, Picasso and Klimt?


blogs ONLINE: What do we now know and what is not?


Jauch: The Schwanitz to memorize, it is not automatic. I recognize many younger
Knowledge gaps in political, economic and legal issues. I want here but no canon of knowledge from the sleeve shake. In general, knowledge is only to education by the personality of a human being. Education is associated with learning, which costs time and nerves, but you know what: education can be a very happy and left it!
