Are we headed towards an age of comput­er­i­za­tion? Are the children of the future going to be taught by robots that take the place of the teacher in the class­room? The Computer Delusion is an article by Todd Oppen­heimer (The Atlantic Online, July ’97) that argues that bringing computers into the class­room is not too good an idea.

I guess the bottom­line is that even if we are heading towards such an age, there is no need to hasten the process based on presump­tions. Novel method­olo­gies should be intro­duced in gradual phases, and only after being thoroughly reviewed should they form a part of the mainstream process.
