Data­bank­ing Every­body Everywhere

From the arti­cle above, “Bill Gates: dig­i­tal learn­ing will rev­o­lu­tionise edu­ca­tion in glob­al south”,

Cheap­er smart­phones and tablets, advances in soft­ware and bet­ter net­work cov­er­age will rev­o­lu­tionise the way chil­dren in devel­op­ing coun­tries learn over the next 15 years, accord­ing to the Microsoft co-founder and phil­an­thropist Bill Gates.…

“The edu­ca­tion­al soft­ware is still not such that every five-year-old could sit there and do their alpha­bet or try their math out,” he told the Guardian. “But I’m see­ing things in the lab now which, giv­en time, real­ly will be per­va­sive.…”

“The net­works still aren’t there yet, but as they get out into poor coun­tries, and as the device prices get to around the $100 range, that cre­ates the pos­si­bil­i­ty that you can use it as a finan­cial dig­i­tal deb­it card, or to inform a farmer about what’s going on with the weath­er and when they should plant, or to help health­care work­ers to track their activ­i­ties and inven­to­ries,” he said.

“All sorts of ways of gath­er­ing data to get these sys­tems work­ing at high qual­i­ty become pos­si­ble with these dig­i­tal tools.” [empha­sis added]

The read­er is encour­aged to con­tin­ue read­ing the rest of this arti­cle and fol­low the hyperlinks.

Ani­ta Hoge, after read­ing this arti­cle, com­ment­ed to me:

“Just exactly like you’ve been saying.… every heartbeat must be monitored. Even the child in Africa who is looking at a green computer screen. Gates will make sure of the re-education of every soul that’s alive in the global village.”

I replied to Ani­ta:

“Yup, the Zulu in the green grass behind the green screen, being brain­washed, reme­di­at­ed, and mon­i­tored to the hilt thanks to Bill Gates and the computer/technocrats!”

This brings to mind Dus­ton Heuston’s state­ment in 1984 when he said:

“We’ve been absolutely staggered by realizing that the computer has the capability to act as if it were ten of the top psychologists working with one student.… You’ve seen the tip of the iceberg. Won’t it be wonderful when the child in the smallest county in the most distant area or in the most confused urban setting can have the equivalent of the finest school in the world on that terminal and no one can get between that child and the curriculum? We have great moments coming in the history of education.” [quote taken from my book, page 213]

All of this men­tal health screen­ing and com­put­er­ized data­bank­ing is cov­ered in the Re-autho­riza­tion of the ESEA bill that is before Con­gress.

The future is NOW unless YOU, yes YOU… ACT!

ACTION:

ASK YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO INVITE ANITA HOGE TO TESTIFY AT HEARINGS RELATED TO REAUTHORIZATION OF ESEA.
