Where is the industry going?

In the not-so-distant past, in a time perhaps easily forgotten, making educational technology was not the fascination of many. It was a time when there was only a small group of researchers in universities and industry labs that were just crazy enough to think about kids and technology. At this same time, there were small start-up companies dotting the landscape of business. Money was not plenty, but researchers and industry professionals hoped to change the world anyway.
