Personal Learning and Global Internet Connectivity.

Absolutely Fascinating…..Incredible Insights To The Future And We Have Arrived ……..At This Future….!!!!!

Bill Moyers and Isaac Asimov share some insights on education in this 1988 interview. Dr. Asimov anticipates Global Internet Connectivity and MOOCS with an Optimistic, Utopian view describing very personal learning experiences facilitated by technology. Bill Moyers counters with the Dystopian argument that machines and computers dehumanize learning. Fantastic Point; Counterpoint Here.

Asimov anticipates “Once we have computer outlets in every home hooked up to enormous libraries, where anyone can ask any question about something you are interested in……….. In your own home, at your own speed, in your own direction, on your own time….Then everyone will enjoy learning…….”

Sounds like E-Learning and Digital Cultures from The University of Edinburgh………To Me.
