"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who would wish to read one."
Never judge a book by its cover. Digital Classroom is suprisingly good. In the introduction alone contains some great quotes ("all technological innovation is a Faustian bargain" POSTMAN, 1994) and even throws some 'ology (but which one?..) in there - did you know that 'techno' derives from the greek for art or skill?
Finally, anything that starts a paragraph with: "Imagine a party of time travellers, among them a group of surgeons and a group of school teachers..." it can only be good, right?
