The web pages on my screen are already dark, because I use a plugin for the Firefox browser which has this to say in the description field:
"Changes color combination for energy saving on CRT monitors"
And no, I'm not using a CRT and neither do I care how much power does my display drain to display a web page. It's just that I find green text on black easier on the eyes.
The system is also able to collect any kind of data from the connected sensors and send them automatically and wirelessly to the manufacturer. It's called "automatic updates" these days, but it's just another name for eavesdropping.
"In general teachers did not make creative use of the technology" namely the one technology that's between their ears (in their heads). Or maybe it's something that can be attributed to teachers in general ? A creative teacher would be able to use an OLPC, a bulldozer, or a stick from a tree in creative ways to enhance the education process. A non-creative teacher is a non-teacher.
