I'm less and less into technology.
I really believe the matter is just human. We just need to take time to speak to each others peacefully. Instead we delegate to hurried teachers in potentially shamefull classes, or technology to do exercises..

"I'm less and less into speech.
I really believe the matter is just human. We just need to take time to grunt and mime to each other peacefully. Instead we delegate to sitting lazily and screeching loud sounds and noises"
Just as the spoken and written word opened up the world to us in new ways in the past, I feel that these new ideas may also lead us to new understandings.
I don't dismiss tech, it's just that it never address the issues to me. So it's not the solution, it's a tail chase.
We're humans, we like human relationships, sharing beauty/knowledge is part of that, that's why hurried teachers and classrooms are subpar, they turn it into a domination scheme (harsh words but I stand by them). On the other hand someone who shares the beauty he feels in a subject, his passion, will drive a pupil in the deepest of ways.
It will also remove some imaginary need for "school" to understand the world.
Lastly it will make people sense that sharing and exchanging is key. I'd like to see more of that.
When it comes to more modern technologies, like computers, I think we need to remember that, in historical terms, we're only just starting to make use of them. I would bet that in 100 years from now, there'll be much more beneficial applications of them in education than now.
