"What r needed are new networks, readily available to the public and designed to spread equal opportunity for learning and teaching." Illich
Twitter, Blogs, Social Networks, Live Streaming, Skype, Social Bookmarking, etc.?

"Technology is available to develop either independence and learning or bureaucracy and teaching." Illich
Seems we are now at a point in the development of information technology to seriously revisit Illich's ideas about deschooling society. In many ways I think we are witnessing it happening right before our eyes online.

"We should now understand that this [right of free assembly] is curtailed by laws that make some forms of assembly obligatory." Illich
I find this to be a fascinating argument against compulsory schooling. I had never thought of it this way before.
