"Formal education must adapt to these changes, taking advantage of new strengths in visual-spatial
intelligence and compensating for new weaknesses in higher-order cognitive processes:
abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem solving, critical thinking, and imagination.
These develop through the use of an older technology, reading, which, along with audio media such as radio,
also stimulates imagination. Informal education therefore requires a balanced media diet using each
technology's specific strengths in order to develop a complete profile of cognitive skills"
