So someone should probably create some technology to push paper as quickly and efficiently as administrators do, for a tiny fraction of the cost.<br /><br />Having said that, digital education can either be incorporated into our education systems (like books were brought into schools at one point - much to the chagrin of the status quo) or people can say "screw universities, i'm going to learn on my own and from other people."<br /><br />Because, frankly, our Schools are losing the battle against Entertainment, and part of the reason for that is a failure to recognize that digital technology is as important for schools of the future as books were to schools of the past.<br /><br />I mean, why should I pay to hear the average professor lecture, when I can go online and hear the best professors lecture with really cool animations to go with it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4UJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895762493819796902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-86236373281598599182011-08-26T21:27:46.921-04:002011-08-26T21:27:46.921-04:00LOL, I got Halo from the article, but you are righ...LOL, I got Halo from the article, but you are right that I have no idea how old it is! <br /><br />My favorite video game is "Galaga".
