Implications and frontiers are like exploring new playgrounds after you’ve mastered your favorite swing.
Implications are what happens next, like when you finally learn to ride a bike, and then you realize you can go faster, farther, and even try tricks like riding around the corner of the park. It’s like saying, “If I do this, that will happen too!” So if you build a big treehouse, implications might be that more kids want to join you, or maybe your parents get worried about all the noise.
What about frontiers?
Frontiers are like discovering a new part of the playground, something you’ve never seen before. Maybe there’s a slide hidden behind the bushes, or a secret tunnel under the swings. That's what frontiers are: exciting new places to explore that we haven’t discovered yet.
So, when scientists find out something cool, they look at what happens next (implications) and also wonder what else is still unknown (frontiers). It’s like being a kid who never stops looking for the next adventure.
Examples
- If you eat too much candy, you might get a stomachache, that’s an implication. A frontier is like exploring a new island.
- A frontiersman goes into the unknown, just like when we learn something new.
- An implication is like a hint about what could happen next.
