BTW one way to get teachers (and everyone) to read A Whole New Mind, might be to get them to sign up for an Audible.com account. They can get the audio version free if they go to www.audible.com/windows and sign up. They'll get a credit just for signing up, and they could use it for A Whole New Mind :) Neat post Bob, I love the comparison idea of tech they would see as laughable it’s so ancient to them, but we thought was the cats meow at the time.

At the end of a very long technology day at school, I too chuckled to see the lean-to with the bandanas! It reminded me of the recent book by Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. It also reminded me of boxes! We all have stories of holidays and gift giving occassions when our young children are more enamoured with the boxes the gifts come in than the actual gift! What does this have to do with Daniel Pink? We are born to create. We create with nature, boxes, paper, food and now we have evolved to include creating with technology. Thanks for the conversation starter. Enjoyed seeing you here! Cheryl Oakes PS Wes, I cannot post on your site with Flock, it doesn't show the 2 words.
