Mitra describes some of his research in education: providing computers and Internet access to children and letting them take it from there.This Single hits on all cylinders.  The topic is important and interesting; his experiments are innovative; and -- most important -- he measured results and reported them.Mitra intersperses the story of his research with a short science fiction story, Asimovian in tone, about a 21st century child learning and playing.  I like this kind of thing but it does mean the rest of the Single is even shorter than usual.  I wanted more!  So I immediately self-applied the major lesson from the book and used the Internet to learn more about Dr. Mitra's work.
