[quote=CONCHO]Technology is going to have a big role to play in the education of commoners. Among the elites, it will be used very little, if at all. Elite children will be too busy learning to read and write in multiple languages, world history, advanced mathematics, etc… to spend time playing with iGizmos.
The introduction of technology to young commoners at earlier and earlier ages is very important, as it reduces their attention span, makes them easier to manipulate, etc… An added bonus is that well-connected businesses can benefit by selling technology into the captive education market.[/quote]
Well…where in the heck do you think we’re going to get tomorrow’s “consumers” (not “citizens,” mind you) from?
