    We have several tasks some of which you address: winning teachers, schoolboards, administrators to an understanding of the need for much improved technology and emphasis on 'digital learning.' The one you don’t mention is that the US ranks 16th in the world on broadband speed. We are one of the few developed countries without a national policy for highspeed, affordable internet for all citizens no matter where they live or how much they earn. You might want to check out http://www.speedmatters.org for more information. It won’t happen unless we make it happen.

Seymour Papert (1993) In the wake of the startling growth of science and technology in our recent past, some areas of human activity have undergone megachange. Telecommunications, entertainment and transportation, as well as medicine, are among them. School is a notable example of an area that has not (p.2).
