You mentioned the desire for business to have the masses go into debt. Is it possible to stop the spread of this control of thought in a capitalist system? Or does there have to be a fundamental change in the dominant forms of government in society?

Would more emphasis on teaching computer literacy in public schools, in terms of being able to program, make a positive difference? We’ve talked about and you also mentioned in the video that convenience is a factor in why people choose to use certain programs- might enabling more young people to program proficiently help eliminate that incentive to use non-free software?

Since this is our last class meeting, I was wondering if we could discuss how we can contribute to preventing the spread of ignorance and preserve/expand freedom in the network.
