Podcasts about touchscreens

Mahindra's new EVs the XEV 9e and BE6 were marketed as software wrapped in metal. They promised the future. Things like augmented reality heads up display, auto park assist, a triple screen dashboard, an in car camera, and a digital key based on near field communication. But now, that long list of cutting edge features is proving to be a real bottleneck for the company. The Ken spoke to at least a dozen frustrated buyers of Mahindra's new electric twins, who haven't yet received their cars despite promised deliveries. Why? Well, the reason apparently is a software update. Buyers have found that the digital keys they were handed at the showrooms just wouldn't work. Touchscreens were freezing, Cameras were glitching. The list goes on. Tune in. Daybreak is looking for a talented audio journalist with at least two years of experience. Check out the role here.

Er is een verschil tussen een druk knop en een touchscreen, dat ontdekte we toen we dachten dat we een aflevering hadden opgenomen. 

Fliegende Autos? Fehlanzeige. Aber ein Supercomputer in der Hosentasche? Check! In dieser Folge begrüße ich Constantin Gillies – Journalist, Nerd und Autor von Extraleben und weiteren Romanen – als Gast im Podcast. Wir setzen die Retrobrille auf und blicken zurück in die wilden 80er und 90er Jahre. Science Fiction, die damals nach ferner Zukunft klang, ist heute Alltag: Smartphones, Touchscreens, künstliche Intelligenz und sogar erste Schritte in Richtung Replikator! Zwischen Star Trek, Terminator und Knight Rider fragen wir uns: Was haben die visionären Geschichten von damals richtig vorausgesehen? Wo lagen sie falsch? Und was kommt als Nächstes? Ein Gespräch voller Nostalgie, Nerd-Talk und einer gehörigen Portion Zukunftsneugier. --- Sprecher & Produktion: Wolfgang Schoch Musik: BACKPLATE von https://josephmcdade.com

A good example is the lack of physical buttons in cars. However, there seems to be reverse trend, and I'm all for it. Listen in and let me know if you are pro button like me!Support the show

Endlich hat AMD die neue Generation der Radeon-Grafikkarten auf Basis von RDNA 4 vorgestellt! Also jetzt richtig, nachdem zur CES erst die Presse ihre Briefings erhielten, AMD aber einen Rückzieher machte. Nun ist es offiziell und es sieht besser aus als gedacht! Die Radeon RX 9070 XT soll für eine UVP von 599 US Dollar (Euro-Preise sind noch nicht bekannt) etwa die Performance einer Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti bieten. Die Nvidia-Grafikkarte hat dabei eine offizielle UVP von 750 US Dollar bzw. 879 Euro, im Handel jedoch teils deutlich über 1000 Euro. Die Raytracing-Performance soll weiterhin hinter Nvidia sein, auch wenn AMD hier deutliche Fortschritte gemacht will gegenüber RDNA 3. Spannend wird auch der neue Upscaler FSR 4, jetzt auch Machine Learning beschleunigt, erste Vergleichsbilder versprechen einen gewaltigen Sprung zu den früheren Versionen. Selbsbewusst zeigt sich AMD auch bei den Encoding-Fähigkeiten, hier will man vor allem bei H264 mit geringen Bitraten für Streaming nachgebessert haben. Es sieht also wirklich gut aus, mal sehen, was die Tests zeigen. Framework, bekannt für ihre modularen Laptops, die man nicht nur selbst zusammenstellen, sondern auch -bauen kann, aktualisiert einerseits den Laptop 13, den es jetzt auch mit Ryzen AI 300 gibt. Zum Anderen stellte der CEO auf einem Event mit dem Laptop 12 ein 2in1-Convertible mit Touchscreen und Stylus-Unterstützung für Schüler und Studenten vor. Der Hingucker war aber der Framework Desktop mit AMDs Workstation-APU Ryzen AI 300 Max: Ein Mini-PC für AI-Workloads v.a. die Arbeit mit größeren LLMs. Zum Abschluss beschäftigen wir uns mit einer Hörer-Frage: Kann man einen Steam-Account vererben? Wenn man Valve fragt, sei das ausgeschlossen, da man die Zugangsdaten der AGB entsprechend nicht weitergeben dürfe. Das steht aber wohl mit deutschem Erbrecht in Konflikt. Viel Spaß mit Folge 246!

Auf jeder Switch gibt es ihn, aber fast niemand nutzt ihn: den Touchscreen. Vielleicht habt ihr sogar schon vergessen, dass es ihn überhaupt gibt. Selbst von Nintendo wird die alternative Eingabemethode konsequent ignoriert. Deswegen bin ich der Meinung: Bei der Switch 2 kann Nintendo den Touchscreen getrost weglassen.

What's the difference between a capacitive and a resistive touchscreen? Which came first? And are there other types of touchscreen technologies?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Current touchscreen technology has its limitations.

Touchscreen controls in modern cars pose a road safety risk, that is according to the Euro NCAP - the consumer organisation that gives safety ratings on cars.Touchscreens, they say, which are used for the radio, air conditioning temperature and some driver controls are taking drivers' eyes off the road.Should you be allowed to have touchscreens in cars?Andrea is joined by Shane O'Donoghue, Editor of Completecar.ie and more to discuss.Image: Tesla

Replacing the existing Rear Wheel Drive variant, the Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive is built to offer maximum range at an accessible price. The single motor, combined with an energy-dense battery pack, standard heat-pump and low resistance tyres maximise efficiency and sets a new benchmark for cost per mile for electric SUVs. With a standard electricity tariff 50c per kWh an owner charging at home driving 10,000 km per year would spend €800 on charging, compared to €1,400 on an equivalent petrol vehicle and even more savings with an overnight EV tariff*. With the new 600 km WLTPrange for Model Y, a single charge will sustain more than a week of commutes. Making the World's Best-Selling Car Even More Accessible The introduction of this new variant is the result of our relentless efforts to bring costs down through economies of scale and innovative engineering. It also supports Tesla's mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy and is designed to uphold strong residual values for the long-term buyer and support affordable monthly costs for hire purchases and PCP finance options. Giving Customers More Options to Choose From Made in Tesla's Berlin-Brandenburg Gigafactory, the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive includes everything that propelled Model Y as the world's best-selling car in 2023. It comes with the highest level of premium materials, convenience, safety, and connected features included as standard. Drivers can remotely pre-heat or cool their vehicle via the Tesla app, enjoy the comfort of a premium cabin plus studio quality audio system paired with streaming apps. Once the cabin temperature is set and favourite playlist is playing, the built-in Trip Planner will automatically show where to stop charging and for how long to reach the destination quickly, in total peace of mind. In-market test drives commence now for Model Y Long-Range Rear Wheel Drive and deliveries will follow in the next few days. Vehicle Specifications Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive Wheels: 19" Dark Gemini 20" Induction Wheels Acceleration: 5.5s 0-60mph Top Speed: 135 mph Range: 600km (WLTP on 19" Dark Gemini Wheels) 565km (WLTP on 20" Induction Wheels) Energy Consumption in kWh/100km: 14,9 kWh/100 km (WLTP on 19" Gemini Dark Wheels) 15,5 kWh/100 km (WLTP on 20'' Induction Wheels) Vehicle Power: 255kW Supercharging Max Speed: 250 kW Seating Option: 5 Weight: 1959kg Cargo Volume: 2158 L / 76.2 cu ft Exterior Paint Options: Quicksilver, Midnight Cherry Red, Solid Black, Pearl White, Deep Blue Metallic Interior Options: Black, Black and White Display: 15.4" Touchscreen (front cabin) Audio: 13 speakers, 1 subwoofer, 2 amps and immersive sound Tow: Up to 1,600 kg *Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel than petrol powered vehicles. Assuming an average of 10,000 kilometres and spends approximately €1,400 on petrol per year. In comparison, the cost of electricity to power Model Y over the same distance is approximately 2 times lower. Over the five year average length of car ownership, that's up to €3,000 in petrol savings. Assuming a fuel economy of 7.6 l/100 km for a comparable petrol powered car. We've also assumed the national average of €0.50 per kilowatt-hour for residential electricity (assumed for 100% charging) and €1.81 per litre for petrol over the next five years. Tesla efficiency values are based on Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. Comparison petrol vehicles are selected based on vehicle class, seating capacity and standard features. We use the WLTP estimated range standard to compare efficiency data between our cars and a comparable petrol alternative using each vehicle's combined city/motorway MPG and MPGe ratings. Actual range may vary based on factors such as speed, weather conditions and elevation change. Model Y consumption rating = 14.9 kWh/100km Comparison car consumption rating = 7.6 l/100 km See more stories here.

When it comes to sports, everybody is basically aligned that the goal here is helping every kid reach their potential. We celebrate talent, we give athletes the resources and personalized support they each need to develop their skills. We have varsity leagues, we have junior varsity leagues. We make sure that kids are challenged at the appropriate level for their current level abilities. And for some reason, when it comes to academics, we throw all of that out the window.Our progress as a society depends a lot on the brilliant ideas of our greatest thinkers. To improve our way of life, we should be promoting our best and brightest to the highest heights of their potential. Instead, we seem to be stemming the flow of great minds at the source: in our public schools. With a one-size-fits-all, equality-of-outcome model, we rob our kids, and our society, of their potential.Today on Faster, Please — The Podcast, I talk with Niels Hoven, founder and CEO of Mentava, an educational software company. Hoven's goal: to help kids learn at their own pace, whether that includes additional support, or simply the resources to excel beyond expectations.Hoven is the father of four, former product manager at Cloudflare, and was VP of product development at Pocket Gems.In This Episode* Treating academics like athletics (1:35)* School as childcare and instruction (5:44)* The role of parents (8:04)* Mentava's mission (10:04)* Reframing the public school (15:20)* The San Francisco algebra ban (17:50)* Investing in our future (20:05)Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversationPethokoukis: Niels, welcome to the podcast.Hoven: Thank you so much. I appreciate you having me here.Treating academics like athletics (1:35)You argue that the current American education system is fundamentally flawed.I do think it has some issues.How does closing achievement gaps hurt our education system? How does it hold students back?So obviously my problem is not with closing achievement gaps, my problem is what happens when you set up policies with that as the only goal. I think what we've seen is that the goal of today's modern education policy is closing the gaps between high achievers and low achievers, which is, of course, wonderful, but the way that has actually manifested in schools is by slowing down high achievers and not giving them the opportunity to achieve their potential. In San Francisco, you're literally not allowed to teach material above grade level, which I think is crazy.Most school systems have gifted programs. Doesn't that meet your concern?So those gifted programs, I think they don't go far enough to support the learning needs of students who are really capable of achieving dramatically more, and, in a lot of places they're very, very hard to get into. So in our school district right now, in order to qualify for the gifted program, you have to take a series of tests and you basically have to score 99th percentile on all of those tests. All of those tests are basically grade-level tests, so they're not really teaching seeing how far above grade level you are, so it's really, “Are you really, really good at taking the tests, so well that three times in a row you can score 99th percentile on grade level stuff?” That's not really getting the kids who need their learning needs supported by these special programs, and these programs really only operate a single grade above grade level. What about the kids who could be doing calculus in middle school, or want to be moving much faster than that: Two years of math a year, every single year — we aren't supporting them.You've proposed treating academics more like sports. What does that look like in practice and how might that change how we approach education and how we think about education more broadly?When it comes to sports, everybody is basically aligned that the goal here is helping every kid reach their potential. We celebrate talent, we give athletes the resources and personalized support they each need to develop their skills. We have varsity leagues, we have junior varsity leagues. We make sure that kids are challenged at the appropriate level for their current level abilities.And for some reason, when it comes to academics, we throw all of that out the window. We just say, “Okay, everybody must progress at the same speed, learn the same thing at the same time.” To me that's like saying, “Okay LeBron, you are not allowed to dunk until everybody else can dunk also.” And so I want to see us treat academics more like sports, where we encourage students to pursue their interests, to develop their talents to the fullest potential, and respect the diversity of kids' ability and motivations.To what do you attribute the staying power of this — I don't know if it's a one-size-fits-all system, but of a system that, in many key ways, isn't different than it was a hundred years ago?It is a government-sponsored monopoly, so I guess that would be my answer. How did the taxi cab medallion system last so long, even though it was dramatically underserving everybody who wanted to take a taxi? There's no competition.What does that more sports-like environment look like? It sounds like there'd be more freedom, there'd be less regimentation. What does that world look like?What I'm really pushing for is I would like to see students receiving instruction appropriate for their current level. I talk a lot about high-achieving students, but this is also true for struggling students. Right now we have a very one-size-fits-all model of education, and that means students who are struggling and need extra attention to get caught up aren't given the opportunity that they need to perhaps move at a slower pace or get extra support, and kids who want to be moving faster and maybe learning two years of math a year, every single year, so that they can be doing college-level math in middle school, they're also not getting that support. We managed to do that in sports, we have lots of different leagues so that kids can find the level of competition that is appropriate for them, but for some reason, when it comes to academics, we refuse to allow that amount of differentiation.School as childcare and instruction (5:44)You advocate reducing instruction time to two hours a day. One, is that enough? And two, what are the kids doing for the other . . . are they getting into mischief? What are they doing for the rest of the day if they're not studying?I think we've really conflated the role of school, and I think an important question to ask is: Is school as we provide it now, is it childcare or is it academics? And I think it is both. An interesting fact about school is, despite all of the problems that we all understand our schools have, schools have like an 80 percent approval rating from parents, and that's because the job that schools do for most parents is actually childcare. It is free childcare for while the parents are at work, it is finding a place where your children are entertained and loved, and that is super important.But somehow we have also layered this layer of academic theater on top of that childcare instead of saying, “Okay, these kids can play in the woods for eight hours a day, or they can play dodgeball or grow their social-emotional skills and build their friendships with a friend.” We had to say, “No, they have to be learning something – but not too fast at this very, very slow pace.” And if you look at things like homeschoolers, you see most homeschoolers do two hours of academics a day, and they have the same outcomes as kids who are going to public schools, so we really don't need that much more time doing academics as long as that time is being spent efficiently.Is this new world possible within a mostly public school system as it exists today? Can you do this, or are you talking about private school, homeschooling, but does this have anything to do with the public school system, which seems to me fairly resilient? Certainly, I think the changes of the sort of magnitude you're talking about.I like the public school system. I went to public school, I had a really positive experience in public school. My own kids go to public school. And I think the difference is that when I was in public school, people were much more accepting of the idea of kids who wanted to move at their own pace. And so Mentava, certainly we're happy to support kids who are homeschoolers, who are in private school, but the real vision is to allow kids to be part of, essentially, their local public school community, go to school with friends from the neighborhood, but still have the opportunity to progress at their own paceThe role of parents (8:04)Tell me a little bit about your personal educational experience and how that shaped your views and how it eventually led to your company.Education has always been very important to my family. My dad taught me to read early, when I arrived at kindergarten, I could already read, I was roughly a year ahead in math. And so he negotiated with my school to just let me, during math class, just for an hour a day, could I just go to the next grade up and sit in on their math class and then come back to my own class for the rest of the day. And we did that, and that worked great until third grade, because my school only went up to third grade, so there wasn't a class for me. So at that point, I just started doing independent study. Just during math class, for an hour a day, I would go to the back of the classroom, I would study out of a math book, and then at the end of that hour I would come back and rejoin my friends for the rest of the day.And I did that for the next four years, and basically, thanks to that accelerated support, I ended up taking calculus in eighth grade. There are kids who can be moving that fast if you just kind of get out of their way. My own son — he goes to a public school — we also got permission for him to do independent study last year, and now in fourth grade he'll probably be ready to start pre-algebra.This is doable now. This was doable when I was a kid with textbooks, this is doable now with off-the-shelf software, but it's harder than it needs to be. And so our vision is: We can make this easier. I think a lot of kids could have done what I did, but they weren't given the opportunity. We want to make sure that more kids have this opportunity to have their learning needs supported.Do you think parents underestimate what their kids are capable of doing?Parents have no idea what their kids are capable of doing, especially parents of high-achieving kids. We've seen this over and over again with the families who are entering in Mentava's learn-to-read software now. We target our software at kids as young as two, but often age three and four, we're trying to teach them to read, trying to get them to about a second grade reading level in maybe six to 12 months. We just had a three-year-old complete our entire curriculum, which gets us close to a second grade reading level, in about six months. So it is doable, it can move fast, and we have parents who say, “I had no idea that my kid was capable of doing this at this point!”Mentava's mission (10:04)So walk me through what your company does, the service it provides, how it all works.The long-term vision for our company is to support the learning needs of kids who are not being supported in school. If you have a child who wants to learn two years of math in a year, the real gating factor of that is, a lot of times it's teacher availability, or it's school policy that says there's no one available to give them that instruction. But imagine that they had the opportunity to just go open a math book.It's a resource issue. We'd love to do it, but we don't have the resources.We don't have the resources. Sometimes that's true, sometimes that's not true, sometimes it's policy, but whatever. But they could go get a math book, they could just study that book and go as fast as they wanted — but that's boring. Not every kid is going to have that motivation. And so, to some extent, we're not really solving for curriculum, we are solving for motivation. We want to build software that can deliver that same curriculum — we know how to teach math, we know how to teach reading — deliver it in a more sort of fun, entertaining, motivating way, and allow kids to essentially continue to progress at their own pace without being gate-kept by the availability of teachers to essentially unlock that knowledge for them. And so we are starting at a very young age by teaching kids to read with software.What I really want to teach is math. I want to get kids to learn math as fast as possible, but in order for kids to be able to teach themselves math, they have to be able to read, and so that is our first piece of software: learn-to-read software for preschoolers.And obviously preschoolers, these are young kids, so is your expectation that software will be done at home? Are there schools trying to incorporate in some way? How's that working?We've started talking to schools about pilots, but I think, right now, we get a lot of attention from parents. Incentives are just better aligned that way. Schools right now are not particularly concerned with, “Are we supporting our kids achieving their fullest potential or are we ensuring our kids can learn as fast as possible?” But parents really care about that. And so right now we have a lot of customers who are basically parents at home who realize, “Oh, my three- or four-year-old is ready to start reading, what can I do to best support them now?”How long has the company been in business?We kind of accidentally launched about six months ago.Was this a pandemic-related idea?This was. I have four kids. I had three kids during the pandemic and the fourth one arrived during the pandemic. They were at home, doing school at home, and I also had a job at the time, so did my wife, we had two working parents trying to take care of three kids at home, we were trying to figure out how to help them learn, and really the only way to make that work was to give them the skills that they needed to teach themselves. And at that time, my kids were five and three. And so how can I get my five-year-old teaching themselves math? How do I get my three-year-old teaching themselves to read? And the solution to that is software. We know the curriculum, we know if you want to teach reading, it's phonics, but how do you get the kid to sit down and memorize the 44 sounds in the English language? Well, turns out that software and games are really, really good at solving motivation, so we just needed to package that all together and that was how Mentava was started.So during this exact period that you've thought of this idea, you're putting together a company, putting together the software, we have sort of a new stage in software happening with chatbots and large language models. Are those technologies that compliment what you're doing? Are you going to have to do something different to use those technologies? How's that going to work out for you?It's very complimentary. So we're not using AI right now, but we see it coming. There is kind of this perfect storm of timing right now where, I think because of Covid, parents started to realize that, “Oh, my kid is not learning as much in school as I thought. This is what they're doing in school?” We had all that visibility when our kids were doing homeschool in front of screens at home.Technology has gotten to a point where we can give screens to every kid, and iPads, and other tablets. Touchscreens make learning much more accessible. We're seeing the effectiveness of some learning software — a lot of learning software is really, really bad, but some of it is good, and people are seeing that. And then, at the same time, like you see AI coming out and getting people very excited about the potential of software to affect education.It's funny, when we were raising money, the idea that software could be a teacher was a very contrarian perspective. Everybody said, “How could software possibly be a teacher? You're going to need a human there.” And then about 12 months later, AI came out, people said, “Oh, of course you're going to have software teachers. We've always believed that.”But my take on AI is that the power of AI is really in its adaptability, and you actually don't need that much adaptation for teaching reading or teaching math. You memorized the 26 letters, the 44 sounds in the English language, you learn addition, and then you learn subtraction, then you learn multiplication, then you learn division. It's pretty linear. It's pretty sequential. And so my belief is that there's actually this core learning pathway that you can really, really optimize, and we should focus on that. And it's fairly sequential, and it's fairly deterministic. And then the power of AI is to catch the kids who fall off of that and get confused and ask, “Okay, what are you confused about? I see you're confused about this thing. Let me give you some custom instruction and then get you back on that main pathway.”Reframing the public school (15:20)In an ideal world — and let's just stick with, I think it's reasonable to think that, for the time being, most kids are going to be educated by public schools. That's a lot of kids, a magnitude difference in how many kids are in private school or are homeschooled. What should that public school day look like, ideally, given what you've learned going through this process?The biggest challenge for public school is that there's such a diversity of student needs there. Public schools are simultaneously academics, but they're also childcare, and they're also a social support network. They're a safety net for a lot of kids, and they're trying to provide all those services to all these different kids by giving them all the exact same thing. To me that makes no sense, and what I would really love to see in our public schools is just more differentiation, more acceptance of diversity of needs, diversity of motivations, diversity of abilities, and saying, “Okay, these children need this particular service from our public schools. Let's make sure that they're in a place where they can get those services. But we have these other kids who want to learn two years of math every year. They can do that in two hours a day, and then they want to spend the rest of the day playing in the forest.” That would be amazing.Should that actual classroom time look markedly different? I'm sure that if I went into most classrooms — I had kids, one currently in high school and ones who were in high school not that long ago — that those classrooms, blackboards, teachers, lecturing: That's the classroom experience. That's in 2024, that was the classroom experience in 1924. Should that classroom experience look fundamentally different?I think that's an interesting question. I think it's going to look different for different kids. I think there is a sense that some of the rigor I would say of the old days has been lost, and I think that there's good and bad to that. I think a lot of that is a result of conflating childcare with academics. You can't do rigorous academics for eight hours a day. It's sort of like weightlifting; you can't do squats for eight hours a day, but you can do them very effectively for half an hour. But if you want to pretend that you're exercising for eight hours a day, then you, by definition, have to remove a lot of that rigor. So I would like to get rid of the academic theater and be very clear about, “Okay, this time is play time, this is childcare time, and this time is academic time, and we're really going to buckle down and focus here.”The San Francisco algebra ban (17:50)A few years back, there was a ban on teaching middle school algebra in San Francisco. Can you give me some background on that?So this was passed about 10 years ago. The way it used to work is that most kids took algebra in eighth grade. If you were ready earlier, you could take algebra in seventh grade, but essentially in San Francisco, because some kids were not prepared to take algebra in eighth grade, they said across the board, all kids must take algebra in ninth grade. So even the kids who used to take it in seventh grade, the kids who used to take it in eighth grade, “Sorry, we're not doing it in middle school anymore. You all have to take it in ninth grade.”Usually these sorts of educational decisions, they're just lost in the noise, parents don't have time to focus on the nitty and gritty of curriculum, but this was a big problem for parents because this meant that you could not get through calculus in high school without essentially taking summer school or getting private tutoring. And for a lot of competitive colleges, you need to be in calculus, have taken calculus, in high school. And so parents had a real problem with this particular curriculum change.The irony of all of this is that this was enacted with the hope of increasing equity, of driving more equal outcomes, and it had the opposite effect because now it's just the parents with the resources who are able to go out and do summer school, and private tutors, and then get their kids the math support that they needed. So this happened a decade ago, and it has been a battle for 10 years to get algebra back into middle schools in San Francisco, and it actually went the other way: California statewide nearly got rid of algebra in their statewide middle school curriculum because of the quote-unquote “success of San Francisco,” which is basically, if you look into it, it's just San Francisco cooking the books, literally lying about their outcomes.And so finally, this past year, parents essentially had enough and they put it on the ballot and said, “We're going to take a vote about, should middle schoolers be allowed to learn algebra.” It's funny because a lot of times people think that this cuts along party lines: Conservatives versus Democrats, red versus blue, but even in San Francisco, the most progressive city in the United States, 80 percent of families were like, “Yes, we should support all kids learn these. Yes, if a kid is ready to take algebra in middle school, we should allow them to do that.”Investing in our future (20:05)I'll tell you the one thing I kept thinking of as I was learning more about your company and your outlook was it seems to me like it'd be really important, as a country, that every kid can reach their potential, but especially the very smartest kids, that we get everything out of them that we can, right? That's pretty important. These are people who are going to be designing the next stage of AI, they're going to be designing the new computer chips, they're going to be in biotechnology. If we can get more out of those kids, there's a huge multiplier there.I believe that very deeply. I believe leaders are important. I believe in the power of single individuals to create huge amounts of change, but not everybody agrees with that. I was at a school the other day, and a bench outside the school literally has carved into it —a bench that every student sees as they go into the school — it says, “Strong people do not need strong leaders.” And I fundamentally disagree with that. I think we need strong people and we also need strong leaders, and the way we get both of those is ensuring that every student has the opportunity to have their learning needs supported and have the opportunity to achieve their potential.What's the direction of the company? Where are you going to be in five years? What's the dream?Right now, we are in the process of officially launching our learn-to-read app, targeted at preschoolers, and then what I really want to do is start transitioning into math. So once we have taught kids to read, we have essentially unlocked their ability to teach themselves. And so our goal is to keep up with this earliest cohort of kids who are learning to read and support them as they continue through their K–12 career. If they want to learn two years of math a year, then I would love to build two years of math curriculum each year so that they continue using Mentava to support their K–12 experience, and then they discovered that, I don't know, they're done with math in middle school, and then they get to figure out what's next after that. Do I go start a company? Do I do internships? Do I go learn marine biology? I don't know.What about computer science? Does that play a role here?When I say math, I would say specifically math and computer science are what I'm most passionate about. I think of it almost as vocational school. Those are the skills that we can teach that directly contribute to, okay, this person is able to create more value in the world because they know these two fundamental skills now.Faster, Please! is a reader-supported publication.
