It was a really fun visit to at least give us cavemen oriented mentalities an idea of the possibilities of breaking out of conventionality. In some sense, perhaps I expected more. But then again, its already a big step to see the usual floating-in-the-air concepts being simulated in actuality.In the future, all these high-tech gadgets and artificial intelligence will take over many of our current jobs, creating new ones in the process. It will be a whole new world incomprehensible to the people of today, where impossible dreams become actualized. We, who don't even know what's going to happen, will have to arm others with what's to come up.
Okay, I love this whole endless possibilities of opportunities of learning and discovery. But if I had to state the key factor in education in all these futuristic discussions, I think what's important to remember is the humane aspect and relationships in society. I guess that I still have somewhat of a fear of the loss of the "human touch" from over-dependence on technology.
Just look at all those people listening to their iPod walking around, choosing to feel a different ambience around them than reality...
But then again, progress is a must. But I really hope that we all remember that at the same time, its really important that root values and human nature don't get lost in the excitement of it all...
