I’m much closer to teachers and students in my new job. It’s worse than I expected. Each time I go into a school I hear stories from teachers who can’t do this or that because of technology policies…everything from filtering email websites to banning music in the classroom. Students are getting closer to the network. Schools are distancing themselves from it. Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy.

Much thanks, John. You and I are both sounding very Matrix-like in our word-choice, which probably ain’t a bad thing given the conversation itself. Unless one of us decides to be renamed Neo.
