Michael, I'd be interested in your experiences with voice
recognition software. How well it works might eventually make
a big change in education by breaking the illusion that "skill
in writing" equals "general intelligence." I'm really confident
that a huge amount of what intellectuals regard as mass
illiteracy is in fact some kind of mechanical problem
encountered by huge numbers of people in keeping their
thoughts during the process of transferring them to page
or screen. Voice recognition software could break that.
