The ideas sound great in principle but I don't see it happening on quite the grand scale envisioned. All of this talk about reforming education misses a key point - x% of the students don't care and aren't interested in learning. Technology is not going to change this. I believe that to attack the problem in education the culture has to change. Our society needs to value intellectual endeavors and the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake.
