Why can't the next area of innovation be in education? I’m not talking solely about the transition from print to digital, but rather a complete reset on education with technology at its core rather than at the periphery? Rethink the status quo, with no sacred cows (teachers, buses, grades, testing, - even classrooms all up for grabs). Imagine tablet devices or similar technology that provide individualized, adaptive…

I have a lot of issues with what you just posted. Perhaps the biggest is enforcing a division between "best teachers" and "run-of-the-mill teachers" into a corporate project management of sorts. I'm not sure where you work, but just imagine if someone deemed you a "run-of-the-mill" employee and relegated you to watching people interact with tablets all day. Some areas of life require a delicate moderation of technolo…

I don't know, I've been learning an awful lot from Khan, Coursera, and Udacity over the past couple months.

Maybe I'm missing the purpose of the article, but I am responding to how I interpreted it. What will our future be like if we all focus our lives around little boxes in our hands rather than the vast open spaces around us? Perhaps we should invent a future where the technology are the tools we use to enhance our life, not control our life. In Star Trek, people weren't addicted to PADDs or spend every living moment in…

The addicts are in the Borg cubes.

Its very difficult for me to ascertain if its just me or the following is a growing sentiment... I'm not wowed by hardly anything that comes out of consumer internet tech anymore. Before anyone gets out a pitchfork I have actively contributed and worked on products in the past that are part of the behemoth of services/apps/sites etc that have become mundane to me so I deserve my own criticism as well. But the majorit…

I'm with you, to an extent. Interestingly it was the recent excitement around the Pebble watch that made me realize how indifferent I'd become to a lot of new consumer WEB products. I guess I realized Pebble was exciting because it was a new platform with new opportunities and possibilities. I think that explains a lot of the excitement around the upcoming "SmartTV" frontier too. Even mobile is still young enough tha…

Which is where the old evergreen 'People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.' comes around. Pebble is a new way to interact with data. Like the iPad, the iPhone, the notebook, the PC, the television, the radio, etc. All the rest is just re-organizing that data. Even if you're not going to create new hardware, this mindset helps thinking about a problem in a physical space. 'When' would I use this and 'where', instead of only 'for what purpose'?
