Want to finish high school in a single year?



It sounds suspiciously like one of those sketchy ads that pop up at the edge of your screen at torrent sites, but it's actually a statement from Atari founder Nolan Bushnell.

Speaking at the Cloud Gaming Conference in the USA, Bushnell said he’s been working for the past decade on a computer education project that takes place in the “cloud” (completely online), and that during a 40,000 student test his system is “currently teaching subjects 10 times faster” than the ordianry curriculum and teaching method.

“We believe that when we roll this up to full curriculum we’ll be able to teach a full career of high school in less than a year”, Bushnell said. “And we think we’ll be able to do that by the end of next year.”
“That’s a lot of time to chase girls and have fun.”

Clearly he's doing it for all the right reasons.
