We construct the world by observing it and interacting with it, not just by letting things control us. You can't learn to write only by reading.
Dr Edward Felten, a professor at Princeton University, argues that the “freedom to tinker” - the right to understand, repair and modify one's own equipment - is crucial to innovation, and as valuable to society as the freedom of speech. That right is increasingly under threat. Ignorant politicians in the sway of massive corporations would like to turn personal computers into glorified televisions. The non-technical press tends to miss the point. It's not about teenagers using Napster to swap MP3s. Educate yourself before it's too late.
