Maybe a lot of startups will get into accelerators because there are so many.

His organization dropped off pre-loaded tablets to a remote village in Ethiopia. These children had no previous exposure to any schooling, written language, or any sort of printed material. The group of 20, 5 year olds all taught themselves basic reading and writing. Are teachers and classrooms an archaic view of education? Dr. Education in America has become a very hot topic.
