Digital Aristotle: Thoughts on the Future of Education

Some thoughts on teachers, students and the Future of Education.
If there's a bookish child in your life, you should get them a copy of The Way Things Work: http://goo.gl/QdreH

Also I don't think that the idea of Digital Aristotle is sci-fi, but if you *do* want to read the sci-fi version, I highly recommend The Diamond Age: http://goo.gl/uvbx6

Digital Aristotle? Sounds like the perfect brain washing device, yes yes, make them working obedient slaves while their minds are still young, sounds like the perfect brain washing machine, think about it, if commercialized correctly, it would seem as the perfect tutor, while in reality the ones in control of the information could easily implant propaganda into their small growing heads, while designing it as fact, any evil genesis out their, here you go, just make something like that.

I just love how you forgot the very important artists who keep the scientists, doctors, and programers happy, entertained, and even perhaps well stocked with ideas.

I learn more things on this and Vsauce daily than I do in school weekly.

[Rotfuchsification]

Hmm, but what about procrastination, lack of interest and motivation? I think these should be the things teachers should concentrate on instead of being like "braww look at what incredible crap I know and you puny little children will never understand".
