Personalized Reading is the Future
While the Jetsons foretold large screens, electronic reading, and virtual meetings, they completely missed the promise of personalized text formats for better reading experiences.
In a discussion with the California Department of Education, their leader didn’t miss the importance. She immediately saw the potential for improved reading experiences to positively impact student outcomes. In her words,
“When I was a kid, the Jetson’s promised us flying cars and robot maids in the future. We didn’t get either. They didn’t even think of this–and this is way cooler.”
