Usually Kids communicate and learn from peers and their environment. With the state of communications and gadgets to our reach, kids also have the opportunity to learn from experts... In airports you can see children so young and little that they barely reach the height of the screens to use the Internet in the terminals to look for their favorite games, they don't care, they just do it. There are kids that are going to expend their vacation time learning in summer activities. The expansion of technology has enabled the expansion of our intelligence in an exponential rate. We educate people to learn how to solve problems and that is something that can last a lifetime.If we learn a technique but not the source of it, we are dependent of the changes, and updates of it. If we learn how to develop any kind of technique then we are educating people. There are nowadays a myriad of opportunities of education and we enthusiastically engaged in activities that give us knowledge, because is better for us, because we can do our activities faster and easier so we are already the perpetual learners. With all the gadgets and products that we need to ensemble, connect, articulate, start up. With all the instructions to follow; we spend a big part of our time looking for the habilitation of processes, services, gizmos... It is easier if we know the natural laws that govern the behavior of things. A good thing is that in the long term we have been able to shrink the costs of nobel technology to reach the masses. If we measure technology only in dollars, we are missing the benefits in time that we are going to obtain. Economy is not only measure in dollars, it also has the intangible quality of the benefit reachable to anyone; so, the way we measure knowledge has to include its reliability, retention time, and ease of evolution. Let's say we are learning to program in the Internet, and we choose a programming language, but in time, developers come with another language... if we learned the logic, the critical thinking, the math, the way the structure of the language is built, we can learn the next language easily... Let's say we know lots of programming languages but we don't do applications...how many lines of code are you assuming you need to do in order to understand and learn a language? Are those the right questions to develop a curriculum for a professional programmer? In other words, how many books do you need to read to be a writer? Or how many times do you need to practice you penmanship to write a story? Usually, what happens is that a person, any age, has an idea; could be a software application... to build it, to develop it has so profound meaning that an entrepreneur is born because the passion of that idea leads a person to high pursuits... and a dream come true for the common good of mankind.
