Comment Easy question (Score 1) 387

"When was the last time you used a piece of chalk to express yourself?"

That would be this morning. Any other questions?

“Why do you expect a kid to go to school and sit in the same seat everyday with pens and paper?”

Um, because they use pens and paper at home too. Any more?

“So classroom—what classroom? Learning is anytime, anywhere. Kids are learning everywhere. As long as they have that device and they have that connectivity to the cloud, they can do their work anywhere. So that’s why the tools become so important.”

That's funny. When "the tools" are a pen and paper, the tools aren't so important and learning can actually be any time, any where. It's when you try to artificially tie the act of thinking to having a Microsoft(tm) Device(tm) connected to the Cloud(tm) that you lose the ability to "do work anywhere".

This is my lawn. You may get off of it now. You are dismissed.

From an interview with a Google Lexus 9000:

"How would you account for this discrepancy between you and the twin 9000?"

"Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

"There has never been any instance at all of a computer error occurring in the 9000 series, has there?"

"None whatsoever, Frank. The 9000 series has a perfect operational record."
