TC: Isn’t it a bit of a paradox that we’re surrounded by so much technology and yet engineering skills are declining?
Eben: These are appliances; your phone is an appliance, your tablet generally is an appliance. I am a little skeptical about tablets generally in education because they’re appliances – they’re devices for consuming, not devices for producing. Producing is where the value is, producing is where the fun is. Maybe I’m biased but I think producing is where the fun is and certainly it’s where the money is
