Sounds like an email spam subject line, I know, but itâs actually a claim made by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell.
Speaking at the Cloud Gaming Conference USA, Bushnellâwho also founded Chuck. E Cheeseâsâsaid heâs been working for the past decade on a computer education project that takes place in the âcloudâ, and that during a 40,000 student test his system is âcurrently teaching subjects 10 times fasterâ.
âWe believe that when we roll this up to full curriculum weâll be able to teach a full career of high school in less than a yearâ, Bushnell said. âAnd we think weâll be able to do that by the end of next year.â
âThatâs a lot of time to chase girls and have fun.â
Girls? What the hell are you talking about, Bushnell. Thatâs a lot of time to play video games
