The education system was to be overhauled from a collection of children studying in a single school to an individualized system of teacher specialization. Now, with the advent of the computer age, the learning process needs to be redefined. Yes, it's not perfect, but nothing new ever is. It takes time for people to learn and adapt to unexpected dilemmas. Contrary to what Jerry Mander believes, not everything can be predicted, but then again, this is a completely new topic. Work cited
