For Delaware, it's Kevlar--the stuff used in bulletproof vests. For Idaho, it's television. South Carolina's claim to fame is the submarine. Each of the 50 states of the United States can claim to be the location for at least one great invention. This BuzzFeed video shows them all.
Did any of them surprise you? Would you dispute the home of any of these inventions?

Mainstream games are so simplified with text now a days, but there are a few real gems which sport a fantastic written dialog.
Now, here we're talking about boosting basic skills among "disaffected learners." I find this news report mostly depressing because it indicates some kids are so damaged that they need this sort of stimulus to learn. It's not the same thing as being a visual learner. It's an attention deficit and emotional disorder issue. Maybe altered video games are the best avenue for this narrow group of kids, but I'll cry on the day it becomes a mainstream educational tool for basic subjects.
