This is the danger posed by the monopoly of companies like Google. And it is affecting every aspect of society, including education.

Think about this next time you hear that Google sponsors X or Facebook sponsors Y. What vested interests are being created?

@aral@zeldman@hyper_linda@janl Sometimes money comes without strings, but mostly, it is conditional. Too bad. -

@aral@zeldman@hyper_linda@janl Is Code Club scared or something?
