Yes, great artefact and I really liked the Burroughs reference as well, and of course even Dylan went ‘electric’, and famously shouted out ‘traitor!’ I think that was at the Manchester Free Trade Hall (?)

In regards to your other questions, Im going to go away and do some research around these subjects to give a fuller response.

Especially enjoyed your ‘what makes us human’ board.

Also, great to see a Burroughs quote in there! So, are you advocating transhumanism as a goal for education? Should education work towards our enhancement through technology? What would that look like? Which core educational beliefs might be under threat from this kind of development?
