Some years back I heard several mathemeticians advocating that the kind of math we teach should be more proof and theory based and less computation and memorization based because computers can do the computation bits better, and so knowing more than the basics of it was like putting our effort into the wrong part of the subject, and our current education system emphasises that portion of the subject the most. I imagine many avenues of education and careers will have to start shifting like that, leave the parts the computer is good at for the comupter, specialize in the parts the computer is less good at then work together with the machine.
