The Chronicle of Higher Education: Colloquy

COLLOQUY

Responses


Just as Microsoft currently dominates the labor market -- because its products form an insulating layer of required skills between workers and their computers -- Microsoft intends to make educational institutions obsolete by becoming the world's repository of knowledge.

Microsoft believes that it alone has the wisdom and the foresight to determine what knowledge should be made available to humans. After destroying the educational system, Microsoft will go after the churches.
