- jerf 14y agoText books do not have the feedback loop that online courses can have. In the worst case, they hardly have any feedback loop at all, even across decades. The tightness of the feedback loop changes everything, just like everything else that gets computerized. Like, say, this message board here we're having our conversation on, which is exactly the same as writing letters to the editor a hundred years ago, right...? Except for all the profound ways in which it is different.
