Tim O'Reilly on Web 2.0 and Open Source

This is a very insightful interview with Tim O'Reilly
on Web 2.0 and Open Source. His insight is remarkable.

Solution for todays school?

... smaller class size where students can interact
more fully with adults, and not technology.

In terms of the value shift of commodity software,
his insight is that the shift is towards more valuable
databases. In essence, companies are learning to harness
our collective intelligence.

Final thoughts for teachers... have fun, and do what you have passion for. For students... find those teachers who are passionate about what they teach. Doesn't matter what it is, but you will learn more and enjoy learning, when the instructor brings a passion into the classroom.

(his insight into web 2.0 and open source isn't so bad either)
