- Turing_Machine 15y agoAh, but he said "learn", not "learn how to learn". Also, I would argue that learning how to use computers is a vital component of learning how to learn, not only for acquiring information, but for making sense of the information once you have it (think models, spreadsheets, graphs, databases, outlining tools...).
- GiraffeNecktie 15y agoThe original article is about learning how to learn. You don't need a computer to learn how to learn and computers can actually be counterproductive. Young children need to manipulate their bodies and objects in real 3D space. Doing the same thing on a computer is not helpful.
- pm90 15y agoI think you are being a bit too harsh here. Sure, we can't use computers to completely replace reality, but they can be very useful when used wisely.
