Isaac Asimov, in 1988, gave an interview in which he talked about how this kind of thing would change education. If you didn't know that this was from 1988, you might think it was from last week--that's how well he nailed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJAIERgWhZQ
From the age of dinosaurs? Gosh am I old. I like how the interviewer asks about learning baseball. After "Moneyball", we now having additional interesting problems from which kids can learn. Build your fantasy teams and run the probabilities.
