RE: HP Prime
Something that is showing up in our family, and might be a feature of the future, is online education. Our granddaughter is taking an online public high school curriculum this year, which is hard for me to reconcile. In any event, she attends actual class room attendance only two days per week, and, (I guess), there is some online way that she is monitored during the three other days she spends at home.

I try to manage my math skills as much as my old pea brain allows by using online (free) courses; so I get how that 'could' work. There is something missing at a social interaction level, that is left out of her total educational package, with online studies. How will that manifest itself in the future? Lord only knows. Testing will reveal how attentive she is to the coursework, so if she is successful, great.

If not, she claims that she can attend physical classes, or review online tutorials, etc. I am skeptical about this level of independence, for her age (15 years old). For example, a business run without a manager is likely to have problems following the business model, with employees independently working from home. She will be quick to say that there is oversight. So the devil will be in the final outcome, at the end of the year.

As far as ebook publishing is concerned, it would certainly be easier to update online what would otherwise be a lengthy addendum cycle for hard copy published works.

I guess we are turning the corner on the means of education these days. What's next? Perhaps ROM implants, with neural connectivity? Are we really only programmed robots under alien control? (Ancient alien theorists say, "Yes!" ...)
