| After three, on Here On Earth, Jean Feraca and our guests discuss Larry Summers' recent op-ed in the NY Times which speculated on how technology will guide curriculum in Universities. Among many outcomes he predicted, one in particular elicited a flood of reader response - will it be redundant to learn foreign languages in the US, or be multilingual?
