Consequently, the only thing I learned in school was typing. In the old days, people like me who don't have college degrees had a hard time thriving in society. But today, the ability to learn on your own or from your peers has become really easy. I think this change is leading to a fundamental disruption in education. Independent and lifelong learning are really starting to peak - there is an inflection point coming around how people learn.

The most important thing I learned in school was how to touch type.

Liberty, freedom and democracy are very fuzzy words, but human rights is very specific.

I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.

When there is a huge force pressing down on freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to form.

In the old days, you became an adult when suddenly your life went from learning to doing the same thing for the rest of your life, but today you can't afford to do that.

There's a new power of pull. Pulling resources from the network JUST when you need them.
