Q&A: Bill Gates on Flying Cars, the Malaria Epidemic, and Article-Writing Robots | Wire... - 0 views

  • Wired: You’re interested in massive open online courses and have championed Salman Khan’s videos. If these had been around when you were young, would it have affected your schooling? Gates: No. For a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good. Now, if you’re the kind of person who gets stuck on Chapter 5 and will give up if you don’t have someone to answer questions, don’t try and pick up the Feynman lectures on physics. That’s true whether it’s online or offline. A MOOC is an attempt to gather a group and encourage students, almost like a typical classroom, forcing you to interact during the lecture so that it kind of wakes you up and keeps you engaged. A hyperlearner doesn’t have to have those things.

The Future of Context: Mobile Reading from Google to Flipboard to FLUD | Epic... - 0 views

  •  
    In retrospect, I think we'll see this as an important moment in the history of media, as well as the history of the smartphone. After all, if there's a single feature that's always distinguished smartphones from "dumb" handsets, it's this: Smartphones are built for reading as well as talking, for literacy as much as audibility.

Clive Thompson on Why Kids Can't Search | Magazine - 0 views

  • High school and college students may be “digital natives,” but they’re wretched at searching. In a recent experiment at Northwestern, when 102 undergraduates were asked to do some research online, none went to the trouble of checking the authors’ credentials. In 1955, we wondered why Johnny can’t read. Today the question is, why can’t Johnny search?
