A heuristic or heuristic technique is any approach to problem solving that employs a pragmatic method that is not fully optimized, perfected, or rationalized, but is nevertheless "good enough" as an approximation or attribute substitution. Where finding an […]

Adages the Internet Has Proven to Be True Adages are sayings that have stood the test of time. Increasingly, the internet and social media are reinforcing the truth behind many common sayings. * If it seems too good to be true, it probably is Since the advent of the internet, we’ve been inundated with ads promising the impossible – wealth overnight, flawless skin in days, or losing 20kg in seven days. Our feeds are a minefield of “too good to be true” offers. If someone believes they can cash in on people wanting shortcuts, there’s a good chance they’re online peddling their pseudo-promises.  * A picture is worth a thousand words This rings especially true regarding social media, where visual content dominates. Platforms are flooded with “look at me” photos showcasing perfect lives – sun-drenched beaches, gourmet meals, families that don’t appear dysfunctional and shiny new purchases.  Social media is an endless stream of curated highlight reels jam-packed with mostly staged and photoshopped (easy to do with arificial Intelligence) pictures and videos. I know several couples who always appear flawless on Instagram but are actually facing relationship issues, proving that pictures don’t always reflect the messy reality behind the image. * Birds of a feather flock together The internet, having made it easier than ever for people to find and connect with like-minded individuals, provides endless evidence supporting “birds of a feather flock together”. A notable reason for social media’s popularity is that it facilitates digital communities of individuals with similar interests, beliefs and values, providing support by showing that one is not alone in their thoughts. Whether you’re into knitting, extreme pickleball, libertarian politics, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and other music events, or unidentified flying object hunting, somewhere on the internet there’s a group for you. But be cautious – sometimes, these “flocks” can lead to bizarre rabbit holes, promoting pseudoscience, a conspiracy theory or confirming a limiting belief.  * Fortune favours the bold In today’s noisy online landscape, boldness can yield unexpected rewards. As the internet becomes noisier, the boldness required to be seen increases, whether through outrageous stunts (e.g. parkour, extreme eating, hanging off a crane), emotionally vulnerable posts, or the most common: Being deliberately controversial. However, in our judgemental society, boldness can lead to public failures, which last forever on the internet. A controversial opinion may attract engagement, but is it the kind of attention you want? Boldness and strategically managing your online presence are two different things. * The only free cheese is in the mousetrap “Free” offers are enticing, which is why the internet is filled with the temptations of free trials, giveaways, get free or “just pay for shipping”. We know “free” is often accompanied by a catch, yet we keep falling for it. Who hasn’t signed up for a “free trial” of a service or box subscription, only to find themselves stuck in a never-ending loop of cancellations? Before biting into that free cheese, ensure you’re not stepping into a mousetrap. * A sucker is born every minute An extension of “too good to be true” scams has reached a whole new level because of the internet, and there’s no shortage of people falling for them. From phishing emails to fake lottery wins, new scams constantly emerge, ready to part you from your money. The next time you receive an email claiming you’ve won a sweepstakes you never entered, consider it a lesson in scepticism.  * Bad news travels fast Have you noticed how quickly bad news spreads online? One erroneous tweet brings out all the haters (read: Jealousy and moral superiority) and can snowball into a trending topic faster than you can say “viral”. A minor celebrity mishap can balloon into a full-blown scandal within hours. People are quick to judge a post made by someone they don’t know without knowing the whole story or context behind it; a reminder to think before you post. Save your rants and opinions – there’s no universal popular opinion – and the need to be right for your journal rather than broadcasting them to the world.  * Advice is cheap There’s no shortage of advice and opinions online, just as there’s an abundance of money-making schemes. Reality check: Just because someone has a website, blog or 750 000 Instagram followers doesn’t make them an expert. Always take advice with a grain of salt and never take advice from people who aren’t achieving the results you aspire to. * A fool and his money are soon parted While it might happen less frequently now, it’s not uncommon for my smartphone to ping with delivery notifications, prompting my wife to ask, “What did you buy now?” Who hasn’t impulsively clicked “Buy Now”, only to wonder later what they were thinking? Spending money online is effortless; therefore, before you buy, ask yourself: “Do I really need this, or am I being a fool parting with my cash?”  These adages remind us to be savvy and discerning in our lives. They’re as relevant in our digital age, perhaps even more so, as they were when they were first spoken and should be kept in mind to help you navigate the online world safely and wisely. * Nick Kossovan is the Customer Service Professionals Network’s social media director.

OLD SAWS IN RHYME. BY H. C. DODGE An honest confession is good for the soul; As thin as a rail, or as black as a coal. A hen that is setting will never grow fat; As wise as an owl or as blind as a bat. As the twig is first bent so the tree is inclined; As many opinions as people we find. Better wear out than rust out; the under dog kick; Empty wagons make most noise; Tom, Harry and Dick. A lick and a promise; ill news travels fast; If you’re not rich at forty your chances are past. The harder the storm is the sooner it’s over; Be just before generous; living in clover. After storm comes the calm; it takes two to fight; Blessings all brighten when taking their flight. Between hay and grass; there are tricks in each trade; A game’s never won till the end of it’s played. Every man’s his own doctor; clothes borrowed don’t fit; Brevity always the soul of wit. Birth may be good but good breeding is more; Afraid of his shadow; don’t stick in your ear. Poverty makes for us bedfellows strange; Hanging’s too good for him; sweet is revenge. Never swap horses while crossing a stream; Always by contraries goeth a dream. By rogues falling out honest men get their due; By distance enchantment is lent to the view. Jack of all trades but master of none; Conscience makes cowards of every one. There’s nothing so bad it can not be worse; To some people money is only a curse. Unadorned beauty the most is adorned; Home’s where the heart is; forearmed is forewarned. There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip; The little leaks often will sink a big ship. Blood’s thicker than water; all cry and no wool; A proud heart is made by a stomach that’s full. Many go out to shear and come home again shorn; All’s not gold that glitters; a man’s made to mourn. It takes two a bargain to make; sour grapes; Taxes and death are what no one escapes.

"Old Saws in Rhyme" by H. C. Dodge from the Detroit Free Press, Oct 30, 1887. He did about twenty of these poems composed of #idioms, #proverbs, #adages. Image is a bit faint but full transcription is in alt text.
