Anti-teaching

It is scary to think about what our children's world will be like.  When they are our age what will be the problems they are trying to solve?  What changes will be needed in our grandchildren's education.  Kind of mind boggling!  Not sure that I have enough of an imagination to even have a clue.  Think of all of the advances in medical science that already exist.  Nanobots that will repair our bodies?  Enabling us to live longer and longer.  Some of these technologies already exist.  What will be the ethical questions and problems that will have to be solved?  Our children do have a great responsibility ahead of them.  From a mathematical viewpoint, how steep will that exponential curve be?  We better hope they are decent human beings with a sense of ethical responsibility.  (I suppose our parents thought the same thing)
