It's interesting that the Japanese never really did their own personal computers, as Jobs supposed. He was probably right though, computers are a different beast to things like the stereo, because it's always changing a la Moore&#

Beautiful interview. I forgot how young, bombastic and intellectual Jobs was when he started Apple. > The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network.

Makes sense to study where finger activity is most active on the phone screen. I like Concept 1, it looks neater than the other "beehive" like structures. Think a left-hand version should be easily configured from Settings, if thi

I was referring to OP's eighth point, "the best teachers are on the Internet." Sorry if that was vague. Yeah schools aren't perfect either, but it's very hard to replicate the teacher role online. Peers yes, but I&#

Upvote for you, the teacher/school buy-in is the one factor that decides whether your edtech make or break. There's a general reluctance to switch to another way of doing things, even if it's proven to be great, unless the co

I see a gap for educating teachers about the potential of edtech :) Many will welcome the opportunity to focus class time on quality interaction.

Interesting that you mentioned superstar tutors. Their classes tend to be large too, I've been to one that's close to a hundred pupils. A noticeable difference is that their sessions tend to be a lot more entertaining and emphasis

It's about solutionism, mostly. "Let's move away from traditional models (which work well most of the time) and digitalise it all! Change the world for the better, oh and make "some" money on the way." It'

Respectfully, I disagree with a lot of the points here. School isn't just about credentialing or dishing out information. You learn a lot about interacting with others, getting a social life, developing relationships with different peo

Then all the more reason for replication. Shouldn't we focus on making the foundation as robust as possible, before building more on it? It's possible to discover something exciting, or completely novel, but "exciting" a

Thanks for bringing up Four Seasons. I listened to Spring, it doesn't really fit what I asked about and initially I thought it was too poncey. But then it develops on like a teasing narrative (if that even makes sense, my musical vocab
