Quotation of the Day for April 6, 2013



"I've used the analogy of what would happen if you put a piano in every classroom. If there is no other context, you will get a "chopsticks" culture, and maybe even a pop culture. And this is pretty much what is happening.

"In other words, "the music is not in the piano"."

- Alan Kay, computing pioneer, on the use of computers in classrooms.
