One day, that will almost certainly be true. But one of the things that have fascinated me lately are science fiction TV shows and movies from before the World Wide Web. Kind'a weird where they thought all of this was going, and how much something like the World Wide Web -- a fairly simple concept when you think about it -- was so disruptive to those writers notions of the future. Bottom line -- we don't know what it's going to look like. - dfw

The problem with Skype is that it is largely a one-to-one connection. So I do not believe it could be used in a dispersed way. But I do not use it much and so there may be capabilities that I don't know about.

Just about everything that you suggested students need to learn to be ready for an uncertain future are part of what I would consider to be basic literacy skills -- the ability to use your information environment to learn what you need to know to do what you need to do. - dfw
