Soal ini sudah jelas semenjak zaman Pilpres dahulu, saat itu (dan selalu diulang kembali) yang membuat tidak jelas adalah Jonru sendiri. Jonru berputar-putar pada saat dikonfrontir oleh Budi Sujatmiko dengan data yang jelas, alasannya: datanya kopian, minta aslinya, dia mau cek dulu, yang intinya berputar-putar, sebelum akhirnya memblokir kembali lawan diskusinya (EDIT: Budi Sujatmiko, sebelumnya saya tulis Budiman Sujatmiko).

@jonru: “Kok fotokopian? Aslinya mana? @budisujatmiko: Akta Nikah beliau gimana? ???? Cc. @kaesangp pic.twitter.com/jvSpzb0Rez” (selengkapnya di http://chirpstory.com/li/241887)

Jadi sebetulnya tidak tepat memberikan data yang valid sekalipun ke Jonru, karena dia punya kriteria tersendiri mengenai data yang menurut dia valid. Sekian dari saya, terimafitnah eh… terimakasih.

ika diberi keterangan bahwa foto tersebut diambil di Indonesia tentunya HOAX. Pasalnya foto tersebut diambil dari kondisi kemacetan disalah satu lokasi di China.

Thomas Alva Edison memang keluar dari sekolahnya saat masih kecil. Sebagai penderita diseleksia, Edison memang sulit beradaptasi dengan situasi belajar yang statis. Salah seorang gurunya memang ada yang mengatakan kalau Edison anak kacau dan sulit diajar. Ibunya, Nancy Matthews Elliott, tidak pernah menutupi kekurangan sang anak dan Edison paham kondisinya yang kurang mampu beradaptasi dengan kondisi belajar di dalam kelas.

Apalagi, guru yang mengajar Edison kala itu, memiliki pola belajar mengajar yang kaku sehingga Edison tidak betah duduk diam di dalam kelas. Dengan demikian, klaim pada narasi tidaklah tepat. Detil penjelasan mengenai kondisi Edison saat masih kecil dapat dibaca di situs truthorfiction.com. Berikut kutipan penjelasan dari situs tersebut mengenai kabar Edison:

[…] This rumor contains a few accurate details. Thomas Edison was dyslexic, which made it difficult for him to succeed in an 1800s classroom. And one of Edison’s teacher’s reportedly described him as “addled.” But the central claim — that Edison’s mother hid that fact from him — is not accurate.

The Foundation for Economic Education reports that Edison was well aware of his teacher’s diagnosis, and that he was enraged by it. Edison was seven years old when his teacher, the Rev. G.B. Engle, described him as “addled.” The boy stormed out of the school in Port Huron, Michigan, and returned the next day with his mother, Nancy. Nancy hoped to reconcile, but she became frustrated with Engle’s “rigid ways” and decided to educate young Thomas at home.

In the biography, “Thomas Alva Edison: Great American Inventor,” Louise Betts goes into more detail about why young Edison had problems with Reverend Engle’s teaching style. Betts writes that sitting still in a classroom was “pure misery” for Edison to begin with, and Engle forced his students to learn by memorizing lessons and reciting them out loud. Students were whipped with a leather strap if they made mistakes, and “Mrs. Engle also heartily approved of using the whip as a way of teaching students better study habits. her whippings were often worse than her husband’s!”

Betts concludes that Edison wasn’t able to memorize lessons and needed hands-on experience to understand and learn things. Edison also needed to ask lots of questions, which frustrated his teacher. Later, Edison said, “I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot (bottom) of the class. I used to feel that the teachers did not sympathize with me, and that my father thought I was stupid.”

Later in life, Edison said, “My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me: and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint.” […]

Berdasarkan penjelasan dari snopes.com: “It’s certainly not true, as stated in the example cited above, that the mere act of calling a particular number would allow a phone user’s contacts and banking information to be stolen by someone else.

That sort of information would be compromised only if another party somehow hacked into the user’s phone (via a malicious app or other code) and/or the user actively did something to enable access to it. (In either case, there’s no obvious reason why such a scheme would require the victim to place a call to the information-stealer rather than the other way around”.
