quantity of intensity during the life span.”<br />

Chip Wood, Yardsticks, 1994.
“Teaching will be learning how to ask the right questions. I<br />
was taught to memorize facts. Why remember them? Now<br />
you just need to learn how to search for information and sort<br />
through the burgeoning data available on computers.”<br />
“Instantaneous access really changes your<br />
life. What never changes is the need for<br />
curiosity. What you really need to do is<br />
teach people to be curious.”<br />
