We could get around with horse-drawn wagons, but we advanced to autos, which were a big improvement, and we're now working on replacing the internal combustion engine in them, just like we replaced horsepower with I-C engine power.
Actually, this is the deepest desire of an entire wing of the Democrat party, to return us to using bicycles and horses. The entire environmental movement is at war with the internal combustion engine, not to mention the megawatts of electricity used everyday to power computers. Who will develop and profit from the replacement of the IC engine? That's right, the Big Oil Companies. An interesting dichotomy, to be certain.
It doesn't matter if you have a slate and chalk or a computer, it you don't show up for school, you won't learn anything there.
Whether we talk about learning or just showing up at school, it has to start with an interest in what is being taught. If there is no cultural support for that idea, no clear reward among peers for achievement, then no amount of money or computers will help.
