Grand Challenges for Engineering
When looking at the Grand Challenges for Engineering I noticed toward the bottom of the list was "Advance Personalized Learning." I was immediately reminded of a video that was shown at the simultaneous unveiling of OS X Mountain Lion and iOS 6 this summer at the WWDC. The video was essentially Apple propaganda (which I readily gobbled up) about how the iPad and iPod were helping to personalize learning especially in developing countries and among the autistic. I decided, for all of you Jobs haters that repost "the importance of Dennis (Ritchie)" on imgur all day long, that I would post the following link that shows how Steve Jobs made a difference in someone's life, even if he would never have gotten there without "C" and "UNIX."
