JB, of course it exists.

Just to be sure I didn't drift, I went back to the original article. It said HP is ruining a generation of kids. I doubt it. Just like The Who sang, the kids are alright.

I went to my kids school last year to be a "Shark Tank Judge" for audio/visual history projects. Some kids presentations were so slick and multi media they looked like they were a pitch by Manhattan advertising agencies. Felt sorry for the kids who clearly did their own work, but only briefly. They probably learned more.
