The article is pretty light on details but I can see the analogy being drawn between home-built computers and home-built rockets. Doesn't all technology eventually become commonplace? We lament the state of education, but look at the expanded amount of information that must be learned. What an amazing machine.
- mkr-hn 15y agoThe trajectory of education seems to be that hard subjects become basic as we get better at teaching them. Especially as applications in technology make them easier to understand. A lot of stuff we call basic math today used to be the pinnacle of mathematics. It's a running gag in the various Star Trek series that people learn how to build warp drives (and other very advanced things) in high school. Paraphrasing a time travel episode: "in my time [the future] there's a [technobabble] in every desk."
