    interesante recorrido pro autores que hablan de las limitaciones de la era digital y su abundancia de información para el pensamiento reflexivo y productivo.

Perhaps, like a new news organization, the tasks shift from creating and controlling content and managing scarcity to curating people and content and enabling an abundance of students and teachers and of knowledge: a world whether anyone can teach and everyone will learn. We must stop selling scarce chairs in lecture halls and thinking that is our value. "
