Chapter Six Quotes

"In the apprenticeship era, parents would decide what their children would learn." (p.91) This idea is so foreign to us now because everybody that has any access to a computer has a connection to the world wide web and an incredible field of information, and often times parents do not have control over what their children are learning."

"The pedagogy of the lifelong-learning era is evolving toward reliance on interaction." (p.97) Interaction during the learning process is very important because it allows for easy access to experts such as teachers or other figures of knowledge. 

"As learning moves out of a school setting, peer culture may weaken when children are working on tasks with their parents and other adults, or in a media environment." (p.101) If children are simply raised to use technology to get their information and don't go to school they will lose the social interaction that they gain from being in the classroom with their peers.  This will not be good for our future society to have unsocial rulers of our country.
