"Dyslexia, a burden for college functions but a boon for computer innovations?"
My sense over the past ten years is that dyslexia plays an unusual role in
computer communications. For instance, it seems the PC community is overly
represented by left-handers (which is strongly associated with dyslexia) like
Jobs, Gates, Waite.
* Also, it seems that 5 or 6 of these most prominent young leaders in the
industry [Gates, Jobs, Dell, Waite, Ellison, Wozniak] are college dropouts?
* Does that tell us anything about a college's role with info tech today?
* Is dyslexia then a burden for college functions but a boon for computer
innovations?
