Obituaries The Economist Unacknowledged Giant. Viscount Ridley: The Optimistic Rationalist.. first future historian of Net Generation Ambassador David Warren - The journalist of Rising Asian Pacific joyful world trades since 1962

Its 40+ years since my father http://normanmacrrae.ning.com started the search for open education entrepreneurial revolutionaries at The Economist. Both our lives were irrevocably changed when we became involved in 1972 with students' early digital learning experiments linking in universities in North of England (grandly called UK national Development Project in Computer Assisted learning) With respect to Bill Drayton -who lent on my father's belief that economics is only useful when it values youthful entrepreneurs- I do not recommend social entrepreneurship to youth wherever  it fails to connect with open education as the opportunity for net generation to be 10 times more productive, peaceful and sustainable than humanly possible before win-win-win business modeling isn't communally celebrated and openly replicated as far as humanly possible Some relatively unacknowledged favorites in addition to Taddy Blecher are:  The Gandhi family at http://cmseducation.org and http://jagdishgandhi.org  The New Zealand and Chinese revolution linked in to Gordon Dryden athttp://thelearningweb.net  The evolution of dialogues at MIT's new media lab from founder Negropronte's $100 atop to Joi Ito's recent contributions at http://open.media.mit.edu/ ; similarly the whole of open education and open technology movement that MIT has nurtured around the integrity of Berners Lee Of course we love Khan Academy and the edgy segment of partners in MOOC (bravo coursera's Koller) who want to see millions of youth viralise 9 minutehttp://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/the-search-for-top-1000-ola-s-can-be-world-s-number-1-gamechanger training modules they have never had a chance to OLA before..
