Can Technology Transform Education Before Its Too Late?
As technology continues its march toward the Singularity, transforming the way we work, socialize and play at an increasing rate, there is one very important aspect of American society that lags behind: education.Many in Silicon Valley have strong opinions on how education should be improved, perhaps most notably Peter Thiel, who believes we are in a higher education bubble and should be encouraging kids to skip college and pursue entrepreneurship instead. I agree that Americans are placing too much emphasis on higher education, but I think the debate over Thiels statements misses a much deeper point.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VZpUKdRUZtc/
