“I used to think that technology could help education. I’ve probably spearheaded giving away more computer equipment to schools than anybody else on the planet. But I’ve had to come to the inevitable conclusion that the problem is not one that technology can hope to solve. What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology. No amount of technology will make a dent.

[…]

These are the solutions to our problems in education. Unfortunately, technology isn’t it. You’re not going to solve the problems by putting all knowledge onto CD-ROMs. We can put a Web site in every school - none of this is bad. It’s bad only if it lulls us into thinking we’re doing something to solve the problem with education.

Lincoln did not have a Web site at the log cabin where his parents home-schooled him, and he turned out pretty interesting. Historical precedent shows that we can turn out amazing human beings without technology. Precedent also shows that we can turn out very uninteresting human beings with technology.”

Happy Fourth Birthday, Air

Four years ago, Steve Jobs introduced us to the Macbook Air. It was the underpowered, overpriced, ultraportable laptop, and most people belittled it. Today, technology journalists and reviewers praise the Macbook Air for its speed, design, and price [wow!]. I own the most recent 13 inch model and I value it more than my iMac and iPad. I think it’s Apple’s best computer. Now, many companies are racing to create a successful, air-like ultraportable.

I will make a review when I find the time. For now, check out these reviews:

I wish my setup was this neat. I love how the shadows from the lamps resemble the mac’s wallpaper.

We’re here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We’re creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. That’s how you have to think of this. We’re rewriting the history of human thought with what we’re doing.

Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I read this (for English) I think about Steve Jobs…
