    hmmm....I'm too old to keep going round in circles with you.

    Oh ok .... I didn't realise that we were only talking about fisherman. Just giving people the tools without the knowledge and training doesn't cut it.

    Remember what you said about training. But it is not training. Opening doors rather. And its not anything new.

    Dr. Sugata Mitra, Chief Scientist at NIIT, is credited with the discovery of Hole-in-the-Wall. As early as 1982, he had been toying with the idea of unsupervised learning and computers. Finally, in 1999, he decided to test his ideas in the field. On 26th January, Dr. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi.

    Circles? What circles? Circles in the forest, ripples in a pond. We might be talking at cross purposes. But it can be summed up by that old fishermans tale which goes something like; give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime.

    ...and if he tries to fish in your pond then drown him.

    Teach a man to fish and you lose a wonderful business opportunity of selling him fish.

    Maybe but why not adapt, improvise and rather sell him a rod, tackle, bait, a boat, tent, some Namibian hardwood and a 4x4 to go with the attitude......
