Summary | Shane Connolly, an assistant commissioner for the Australian police, said that in order to avoid becoming victims of revenge porn, people should just stop taking selfies. The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Sugata Mitra – the professor with his head in the cloud
Newspaper | The Guardian
Date | 7.6.2016
Language | English
Country | UK
Topic Tags | childhood, digitized education, research/study, school
Summary | Professor Sugata Mitra's educational methods have not always been well received because they are not "traditional". Mitra predicts that the internet will be everywhere and in our heads, and that traditional examinations will disappear. It will be difficult to ban the use of internet in exams, for instance. People will be even more dependent on their phones; they will need it for skills such as reading. Mitra's method is called Sole (self-organised learning environment). Children need to collaborate in small groups and do research on computers. The method proved successful, but more research is needed.
