    Does your legal system work on imprisonment or nothing at all? Sounds very extreme.

    Here it’s a small fine, but it’s also a day off and takes like 20 mins to go do plus you can get a delicious sausage. So it’s a no brainer that people go vote.

    Greece is a pretty failed state from what I’ve seen, wouldn’t read too much into what they don’t do.

    As for why compulsory voting, it helps moderate extremism and represents most of society as a whole.




  • Oh yeah I’d love to see tech being incorporated more into learning! I learnt more history from playing Civilization 1 when I was 9 than I did in any of my years of primary or secondary schooling.

    I’ve also been inspired by the idea of VR as a teaching tool ever since I saw this Simpsons episode.

    We have so much better technology options today, yet it feels like we’ve not utilised them at all. Paper books have been replaced with chromebooks, whiteboards by smartboards, and that’s about it. The same function but in a slightly more convenient form, such wasted potential.






















  • Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got… an Internet [email] was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially. […] They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
