SOCIETY POSTERS

Ask the stupid question.

Ask it again. That’s what the machine is there for.

Ask for the simpler explanation. Ask what that word means. Ask again if the first answer didn’t help.

A machine can get things wrong, but it won’t get tired of your questions. For classrooms, workspaces, and anyone learning something new.
