Very well said and succinctly put.
When I was about 10 years old I had to do a project on Iceland (this is a freaky co-incidence as the OP is from Iceland!!). Anyway, I wrote to the Icelandic embassies in Dublin and London and they sent me some fantastic information. I combined that with information from library books and made a comprehensive project. A few months ago my 14yo had to do a project on Kenya. He simply went to Wikipedia, re-wrote some pieces of info from it, printed a flag and stuck it all together. It was a homework assignment so not a huge big deal but it got me thinking.
I now encourage him to avoid Wikipedia because it's wonderful in some ways but not at all trustworthy but I learned that for him, even having to go a site beyond Wikipedia seemed like too much effort. I wonder has technology, in some ways, made us really lazy but, worse, has it taken the joy and pride out of learning and researching? I remember the thrill of getting those packages in the post from the embassies and the buzz of finding the right library books (which necessitated a trip to town). It was all very exciting. As opposed to crossing the living room and looking up a few sites. I dunno. Has the thrill of learning gone?
Anyway, looking forward to the rest of Frejya's talk.
