I just asked this simple question in view of the many posts and comments made by our class over the last few weeks. The topic, generally, of my final is the movement of humans, specifically in our schools, into the digital age on a full-time basis. How do we do this? Is the physicality of humans going to change into more cybernetic type beings, or will we simply use attached applications to make our way around? what are the ethics involved? What do we do with those who may not be able to mentally perform as our learning algorithms say one should be able to perform? How do we measure success? Will embedded applications eventually allow humans to do away with, or remedy, disabilities and dysfunctions, thereby truly making one person the equal of another?

So many questions but never enough answers.
