The Future of Education

The way that these people thought the future would be in terms of technology is not completely off. For example, the boy uses the internet and talks to it to find things for him. In our iPhones nowadays, we can do the same by talking to Siri. Using this, the computer can find anything we desire, or at least try, as long as it is on the internet. Also, when we aren't in the same places, we can use programs such as skype and other forms of video chat to talk to classmates or family, etc.
The way they viewed the future is actually pretty accurate, compared to 30 years previously when they had no idea it would be this advanced. Although they have a lack of cellphones, their idea of the computer is very accurate. I wish I had a program to learn information visually as the kid in the video did, but with computers we can watch videos about virtually anything. It makes for a much easier understanding of knowledge we would have previously had to read in a book.
