The future of education

Brant Peery — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 06:04:57 +0000

I have seen the future. It is marvelous. The world has united and peace reigns. OK, I have not seen world peace, but what I have seen is a better world. It is made possible by great teachers melded with great technology. It is more advanced than mere computers, it is the growth of the human race through technology. It is as significant as the invention of written language. It will advance our civilization like the discovery of electricity. It is the next step in evolution. All this comes from a unified, perfected, and dynamic education system.

Oil Crisis??

Perhaps I should have named the title of this post 'Energy Crisis??' instead. I want to touch on a few things in this essay. The supply and demand theory as explained in collage economics classes. The change in demand of oil , both crude and refined. The change of supply of oil. And finally the change in price. All of this will be followed by more posts about what the real problem might be, and possible solutions to those problems.
