Real advantage of a Primer (Score 1)

There is an important point to be taken from TFA and Diamond Age. At the moment, although many educational programs track a student's progress in one area, and guide the student down a path of learning, there are no programs that take an overall view, Thus a student with problems in history, for example, won''t get advice that what is holding him or her back is writing or presentation skills, rather than subject knowledge. Less charitably, a nerd in employment won't get advice that what's holding him or her back is inability to persuade an MBA. This is what the Primer in Diamond Age could do.
