  Interesting list. On "lack of quality in education:" do you see that as a new / increasing problem, or an extant one amplified by growing needs? What would you consider to be an increase in quality of education? Achievement? Specific areas of focus? Increased universality / literacy / "bringing up the floor"? How about intersections of this with the issue of cognitive development and theories of distribution of cognitive skills (e.g., Jean Piaget), or of impacts of early childhood development and environments (nutrition, pollution, nurturing, exposure and acculturation) to intellectual development? Are you suggesting that social apps and the Internet of Things are a mis-placed priority? How or why? If they are: then why do they seem to be such compelling objectives for business and technical interests? Are there any benefits resulting regardless?
