Harvard Business School and other major Universities are beginning to add open source into the curriculum. This is a sign that open source is starting to get the attention of many in the business world and curriculum's are adjusting to address this shift. In the April 2008 edition of Harvard Business Review we see a fictional case study involving the decision process required to decide whether or not a company should embrace open source business model or keep their software closed.

Virginia has become the first state to require that all public schools teach "Internet Safety" classes for all grade levels. Their goal is to educate young Web users from the dangers associated with using the Internet.

This shows us that Virginia is able to adapt with the changing times. They realize the public danger the Internet can pose to a community and have taken some action to mitigate the risk. This is the right thing to do.
