We're going to talk about what needs to be done to make schools better able to train our young people to meet the technological challenges that will face them tomorrow.

But computers are more than that. Those devices are all one-way.
Computers communicate and that's a big difference.
Let me use an example. TV is a great communication device. There are thousands of educational broadcasts of one sort or another each week. Yet, it has not been found to be a substitute for the classroom. The TV is a one-way device.
