Do I think I can teach myself anything?
No. I think there are some thing i would just be incapable of learning. Like Spanish. Cannot do it for some reason. But I'm sure if i put my mind to it i could learn just about anything. There is some hard stuff created by some smart people out there though. I don't think i could learn everything they did. So my answer is definitely no.
The hole in the wall
This experiment was done to test weather or not kids would learn if he put a computer in a wall with educational programs on it. The experiment showed that the people were interested in the computer and used it a lot. Because of this many learned some stuff.
