NY Times
I sit here, in a small town in Costa Rica, reading this on my Laptop. How does this apply here?
Quite easily, actually. All Costa Rica has to do is teach some of its students English, which it is already doing - but not very well. And then send these students to study in America, which it is already doing - but not very well. And make fast Internet access here, more common.
It needs to import the technology that will make it rich. The schools here - and there a lot of them, need to focus on technology, not just on making better people.
It has to decide where it wants to be, twenty years from now. It made this decision once before, in 1947 - and as a result, is now the richest country in Central America. It invested in its future - and this investment has paid off handsomely.
