“I believe that the computer presence will enable us to so modify the learning environment outside the classrooms that much if not all the knowledge schools presently try to teach with such pain and expense and such limited success will be learned, as the child learns to talk, painlessly, successfully, and without organized instruction. This obviously implies that schools as we know them today will have no place in the future. But it is an open question whether they will adapt by transforming themselves into something new or wither away and be replaced.”

Seymour Papert

“What can you do has been replaced by what can you and your network connections do. Knowledge itself is moving from the individual to the individual and his contacts.”

Jay Cross


Networks are the new classrooms.
