[referring to Smith, 31 Jul 96] I agree with what you say. And of course, technology is now a well-established resource rather than something new. What I was trying to push [Sims, 31 Jul 96] is the notion that the latest technology will somehow transform education (mostly held by SALES representatives of hardware/software companies) is misguided.
On a more personal note, I had the great fortune to watch a humpback whale and its newborn cub swim north some 50 meters from the headland where I was walking the dog this morning. Its times like that which remind me there is always so much more to the world than the 15" monitor in front of which I spend too much time.
