Our brain has a mechanism to store and organize the information we receive daily called schema. This mechanism also shapes our minds' structure; it determines how we understand the world and assimilate new concepts. It is also responsible for the interaction between new and preconceived ideas.

In today's episode, we will discuss why it is so difficult to accept new ideas, different ways to do things, or new technologies. Through a simple example of how the world is presented to us when we are children, we will talk about what happens when we receive information that contradicts our preconceived ideas, our schema. We will also talk about how our schema might prevent us from seeing new things around us; as we are so used to how things are, new information or data could pass undetected in front of us.
