This is brilliant forward thinking as relevant today as it was back then. We need these tools for the rest of the world. As education is enhanced in every nation there will be great rewards for every one!

I have heard much of what was said before, the question is why are we as educators still placing so much weight on facts that the teacher believes are important to them? When are we going to teach how to learn, how to become lifelong learners, and how to discover new things from old things. Our students would be best served if instead of us using them as filing cabinets filling them with the information they have no interest in at all, we should be giving them problem-solving skills that are very focused on learning how to discover new things from old things that have been missed. Factory jobs are becoming exercises in problem-solving rather than the repetitive do this then that like it has been.
