I had hoped by now we would have computers in the classroom teaching, with teachers available to answer the questions various students had along the way. My kids are a lot like me in school, bored out of their mind most of the time. (although they seem to not get in as much trouble as i did) And it seems like the class material is being watered down to help with the gap between various students range of understanding, but that really hurts everyone.
As a follow up question...Would computers presenting material at the speed of each students understanding be at least a small step towards " when a computer becomes conscious and caring and becomes the best friend that each student wants to be with.." And if so, what is the biggest hurdle of getting a system like that in place? Hardware costs? Software costs? Voter apathy towards education?

Woz,
What changes would you recommend to fix the K-12 education system in the u.s. ?

impossible, it is not. very costly is more accurate...its done all the time. think FAA certification or FDA certification.

here although it only goes through 2003...but yes it has happened..perhaps 2003 was the last time...

What if I drive past you at 90, stop for 30 min to charge up, and repeat....(technically im averaging 45 mph)... u want me to lose my license? GTFO

I worked on the Flight Management System (back in 98-99) for the Boeing 777. It could take off, fly the designated route, and land without any human intervention. I would not be surprised if there have been flights using only the FMS and no human interaction. The reason given why they were not using it was no one would fly on a plane without a human pilot...not that the pilot HAD to fly the plane. Chances are there are flights everyday where the pilot is just along to make u feel "safe".

same here. a combo of a few fingers usually works best (i.e. do u look at her face and see the results of your fingers, i didnt think so)

Yes...they...do.

I gave a good honest exit interview when i left my first fulltime software job.. Wasnt a asshole, and kept it professional, mixed in what i didnt like and what i thought they did real well. The company has hired me back 3 times. Did the same thing at all 4 exit interviews, and maybe if i ever need a job again (with this market one never knows) i will get hired back, and that is worth a lot to me personally. But theres been a couple other places i burned the bridge down from shore to shore, not even a splinter left. Assholes had it coming....and i delivered.
