School Bubble Bursting
Schools spend eight billion dollars a year on textbooks. They go on doing so, despite the fact that they aren’t helping. Spending $14,000 per student per year isn’t getting the job done; Americans students barely rank in the top 20 countries in ability.
The recently deceased Steve Jobs had thoughts on the subject: “[Jobs] believed it was an $8 billion a year industry ripe for digital destruction.”
Technology to Fill the Void?
Now, others are agreeing. Providing books, virtually for free, could save taxpayers billions of dollars. Textbooks are replaced when new funding fads, like global freezing/warming, need justifications for money. Now, fad-meisters can react more swiftly than ever.
Smaller Imaginary Problems can now be brought quickly into students’ minds. So, we’ll have “more brainwashing, faster”.
Technology is a two-edged sword.
