Students who have learning weaknesses or disabilities will have the choice to process information and express themselves in ways that are most effective for their individual needs. Negroponte illustrates this possibility by explaing how, in the digital world, a football game could be viewed as a video, heard through audio, or watched as a series of play diagrams. For the same game and same pool of bits, the user, not the producer, has the choice of how to process the information in it. Students would have these same options in choosing how to process educational information.

Negroponte also observes that the digital future will lead to a bridge between the arts and technology so that both right-brained and left-brained activities will be considered equally important for processing of information. A classroom in which egalitarian treatment of students who excel through differing learning abilities will not only be more possible than it is today, but also necessary in the digital world.
