Ok, I think the media is trying to convince me that an Indian person invented computers and the internet.

I'm still waiting for the invention that can upload information directly into our brain like it is done in movies like "Battlefield Earth" and "Outlander".

Teachers are becoming irrelevant. Tomorrow the computer is the teacher. Just playing around with the computer and discover things on your own is the best way to learn things. Its not having someone who isnt even interested in their work talk about it front of a class hours after hours.
Giving internet to anyone will open them up in time. Even if you're just watching videos or writing comments you're learning new things all the time. It might not seem like that when you're doing it, but in time it will show.

Video lasts 17 minutes.
Time to write such an intesting comment 10 seconds.
At least watch the entire video before commenting.
No wonder the "first post" so often gets a minus vote!!!
Interesting and educational video. Loved it
