Speaking about computers in the classroom Dr. Seymour Papert said:
"We need a jet engine to do what the well-worn piston engine cannot. And we need a jet engine that is used
for a jet plane, not one that is strapped to a stagecoach."
“It was reported in the 1980s that General Motors spent more money on technology than any other car manufacturer in the
world.
While some processes became more efficient in GM's factories, too many aspects of operations remained the same – the
decision-making process, quality control, supplies and sales.
The anticipated windfall of productivity did not materialize.”

Someday the knowledge from
this machine, and many others
just like it, will teach mankind
everything they need to know.
Education must be both high touch and high tech.
"People believe that, at its heart,
education is a human endeavor”
The Public Agenda Foundation
“Whatever development trajectory we follow depends upon our commitment to a particular path we start from and follow.”
“If it’s the causal path, this ultimately leads to the ‘one best way’, leaving very little room for deviation
from the chosen path and seeking alternatives.”
“If it’s the path of purpose, then it is the choices we make on the way which shape the contours of the path, allowing for reflective action and human choices.” Karamjit S Gill
“The challenge here is to transcend the idea
of the technical notion of the one best way
model, and focus on the creation of a
conceptual framework for understanding
the nature of knowledge and the purpose of
knowledge systems, and this requires the
ethical commitment to the creation and use
of knowledge in a purposeful societal
context of human development.” Karamjit S Gill
