Class

I do enjoy the discussions we have been having in class. The idea that the partent(s) can access the students grades is a HUGE improvement. With the advent of the $100 laptop, My dream would be for every paret or guardian to have accesss to the internet. It makes us better parents and as Bush would say, a better country.

I just invested in Sprint / Nextel because they are rolling out the WIMAX technology across the country. THey are utilizing their existing cell towers to hang the hardware. WIMAX, when implemented, will provide a broadband signal that exceeds todays cable signal in bandwidth and speed. The hope is to cover every square inch of populated areas in the US. Shares are around $17 each. I predict in the next two years this will double , triple or even more.

Free education at Harvard?
Apparently diversity is still the big buzzword in education. Is this because of our guilt or is there a real need to make the higher echelons of education available to everyone.
I am all for it.
