US and Kids

US Government prepares their kids to be an excellent scientists by equipping them with knowledge about technologies they're used. NASA and CIA for example, they provided web pages dedicated to kid that provide informations about their technologies.

How about Indonesia? Naaahh, don't expect too much :)

  2. Yup, couldn't agree more. Indonesia Government still have lots of urgent things to solve, such as poverty, corruption, etc than censoring the Internet unwisely.

  3. Yes, I've opened website about CIA, the website provides a link special for kids, where they are taught about encryption and decryption. Very cool, complete with animation, and cartoon cryptokids..want to check it out..(my favorite is Slate, the math slave)

    Too bad, they have so many cool facilities, but still lost of drop outs.
    Get spoiled by the system, I guess.

  4. Wow, rarely I heard a girl who has a great interest in Mathematics (I assume you are one of those ;p).

    I haven't read links that you gave, but surely it's a new and intriguing fact to me, and I'll dig those news later. There are lots of factors why those conditions occurred, and I think it doesn't have anything to do with being spoiled by the system, instead, I thought that may have something to do with their high standard education.

    Nice to know you too (seems that I knew who you are :D)
