Sobre a Consciência

Capas

A Time desta semana (deverá chegar às bancas em breve) tem esta capa fantástica. E um pequeno artigo do nosso António Damásio (A Story We Tell Ourselves) sobre a consciência, no âmbito do tema de capa - absolutamente interessante.

Na secção 10 Questions For... o entrevistado é o omnipresente Bill Gates, a propósito do novo Windows Vista. É significativa a sua resposta à seguinte questão:
.
Education is a big focus for you. So, is there better learning through technology?
.
It's important to be humble when we talk about education, because TV was going to change education and video-tape was going to change it and computer-aided instruction was going to change it. But until the internet exploded 10 years ago, technology really hadn't made a dent in education at all. Learning is mostly about creating a context for motivation. It's about why should you learn things. Technology plays a role, but it's not a panacea.
