Hello I have uploaded a paper at Academia to explore the cognitive potential of spontaneous drawing in early childhood as a discussion paper. Please give feedback https://www.academia.edu/s/4851599f3f Exploring the possibility of spontaneous and autonomous drawing to bridge the gap between the three-dimensional world and the two-dimensional world the screens bring. Abstract Two-dimensional experience is very new to human beings which became part of the general lifestyle only much after the invention of the printing press. One could say only by eighteenth-century literacy occupied the cultural space in Europe. In most of the non-western countries even now, half of the population would still belong to the oral cultural sensibility. The manner in which literacy is being introduced clearly alienates people from the real world and is creating an uprooted way of existence.

From raw food to cooked food was the first major change that took place in the biological nature of human beings. It totally impacted the digestive system in a very deep manner and also impacted total change in behavior and the whole social life changed due to this. The second event that totally changed our biology was our shift from orality to literacy which took place on a large scale after the invention of the printing press. Till then writing was like small craft activity which only a few skilled people could do, who scribed letters into various mediums. It was just like any other craft skill.

What cooked food did to the digestive system, literacy did to our cognitive system. It totally changed the cognitive source, cognitive tools, cognitive process, and cognitive foundation or the structure. It completely changed the realm of understanding. The two-dimensionality that literacy brings in, in fact, has created a virtual cognitive realm and many of our experiences are now not only two-dimensional but also vertical. -- Jinan, TEXT DISTORTS, DIGITAL DESTROYS, WORLD AWAKENS http://kbjinan.in/ <http://jinankb.in/> http://ekfoundation.in/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC80rT8Zj1EE8TrzD3UreYfQ www.re-cognition.org https://independent.academia.edu/JinanKodapully 09447121544
