Strategy is about thinking, not how fast you can jump the screen around and send your units in 50 different directions.
Strategy is a function of time. Only in the imaginary warfields of a person's mind are you given an infinite berth in which to decide what goes where and what does what without the when.
Try Theodore Kaczynski's Industrial Society and Its Future (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Industrial_Society_ and_Its_Future), popularly known as The Unabomber Manifesto. In it he outlines the same slavery to technological advancement in a far less muggy way. Although I have no issue with multiple similar texts spanning the same topic, the fact that he doesn't reference (as far as the summary goes) Kaczynski's seminal contribution makes me somewhat wary of this author's breadth and credibility.
It's ridiculously easy for teachers to abuse their authority. Many often display questionable behaviour in the classroom or elsewhere, the account of which might be met with skepticism when reported to a higher authority, or might simply be flat-out not reported owing to the submissive nature of most students or due to the awkwardness inherent in getting a teacher chastised for an isolated incident.
With the knowledge that lectures are being, or might possible be, recorded by the students themselves, teachers suddenly become accountable for all their actions--as it should be. Banning such videos from youtube, and electronic devices as whole from schools, is a broad handed tyrannical gesture and an affront to student rights and free speech.
They demand streets like those during the Middle Ages, when horse-drawn chariots, handcarts and people scurried about in a completely unregulated fashion.
Chariots and handcarts never had a top speed of 250kph.
"Building" is still role-playing. It's projection, a vicarious extension, overgrown children playing dress-up. People that swear by the Sims. The new Potato Heads.

That's what Coleridge teaches.
It won't be the same without the original voice actors. And the post-season 1 (or was it 2?) voice for Bob just never sat right with me.

There's an excellent but controversial essay on the subject, actually, called "The Student as Nigger": http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/0303 01studentasnigger.html
