With thanks to All Briggs, whose comment is the first one in the previous post, here is the full quote from the Gardian:
“Whenever I go into class, I have to power down.” . . . “At school, you do all this boring stuff, really basic stuff, PowerPoint and spreadsheets and things. It only gets interesting and exciting when you come home and really use your computer. You’re free, you’re in control, it’s your own world.”
The full article is here. I reference it to illustrate that my description of education’s failure to embrace the digital future is hardly exaggerated.

Sure, things are changing now. But even at the rate of change they are, students will not only outpace the curriculm, but the educational process too.
