“Think of it: the lowest common denominator in being digital is not your operating system, modem, or model of computer. It's a tiny piece of plastic, designed decades ago by Bell Labs' Charles Krumreich, Edwin Hardesty, and company, who thought they were making an inconspicuous plug for a few telephone handsets. Not in their wildest dreams was Registered Jack 11 - a modular connector more commonly known as the RJ-11 - meant to be plugged and unplugged so many times, by so many people, for so many reasons, all over the world.” PeopleThinkingWorldReasonDreamCommonCompanyKnownPiecesComputerModelsDecadesTinyDigitalMeant To BeBellsPlasticLowestTelephonesLabsPlugsCommon DenominatorOperating SystemsWildest DreamsLowest Common DenominatorConnectors Author:Nicholas Negroponte

Now, our money is more to the teacher-effectiveness thing, and technology is No. 2, but I'll probably spend more money on the technology things.” ThinkingHas BeensPlayDreamBigsPastFilmTermRolesTeachTechnologyTeacherTvsComputerUniqueFoundationImpactInstructionClassroomMore MoneyEffectivenessDrillsBig ImpactProjectors Author:Bill Gates

“I claim that this bookless library is a dream, a hallucination of on-line addicts; network neophytes, and library-automation insiders...Instead, I suspect computers will deviously chew away at libraries from the inside. They'll eat up book budgets and require librarians that are more comfortable with computers than with children and scholars. Libraries will become adept at supplying the public with fast, low-quality information. The result won't be a library without books--it'll be a library without value.” ChildrenBookDreamValuesLinesResultsQualityInformationComfortableComputerLowsClaimsLibraryBudgetsSuspectsScholarAddictLibrarianHallucinationsInsidersAdeptAutomation Author:Clifford Stoll

“What distinguishes a human being from a computer? The ability to add up numbers? The ability to understand language? The ability to be logical? It is, of course, none of the above. It is the ability to play. Computers cannot have fun. They cannot fantasize. They cannot dream, they cannot experience emotion or summon intuition. These rare, precious qualities come naturally to every child on this earth yet they tend to be seen, by well meaning adults, as faults, foibles and failings. In pushing tiny toddlers to 'perform', we rob them of the ability to imagine.” HumansWellsChildrenPlayDreamEarthCoursesLanguageFunHuman BeingsAbilityNumbersEmotionQualityImagineFailingComputerAdultsAddFaultsIntuitionTinyHaving FunPushingLogicalToddlerFoibles Author:Jonathan Cainer
