I recently wrote a short piece called “Computers emulating nature: why high schoolers should be excited.” It proposes that the fundamental knowledge of tomorrow will be in understanding the mechanics of genetic algorithms and Hierarchical Temporal Memory Systems and being able bridge the practical/theoretical gap like Lararidis did in order to make useful applications with them. The high school computer science teacher that has his/her students doing science projects with this stuff now will be priming those kids to develop the next world-advancing technology.

I often found myself re-reading pages at a time to really grasp what was going on. It's still setting in my active reading material, as I feel I need to read it again...

It’s still setting in my active reading material, as I feel I need to read it again…
