The global village is not created by the motor car
or even by the airplane. It’s created by instant
electronic information movement. The electronic
environment makes an information level outside
the school that is far higher than the information
level inside the school. In the 19th century the
knowledge inside the school was higher than the
knowledge outside. Today it’s reversed. A child
knows that in going to school, he is in a sense,
interrupting his education. He goes into an
environment where the information levels are
much lower, the lowest in the world, (than)
outside the classroom.
