Baking Technology

Just consider the meaning of this picture for educational purposes? If Martha can bake a cake of a Wii why couldn't we have students who aren't otherwise interested in technology bake something that prompts them to learn about technology in the process? Why couldn't a geography teacher ask students to bake a cake of a map? Just because we have advanced computer technology does not mean that we have to use it.

On a different note, I'm a little confused: Engadget posted the picture with a reference to Joystiq. But nowhere could I find the referenced story on Wired's site. Maybe I just lack web literacy skills?
