One of my favorite professors would do something like this manually. He would know everyone's names, call on people he thought were slacking or having trouble, and keep everyone alert and engaged and learning because you knew you were being, well, watched.
This seems like it achieves something similar, just automatic. Yet it makes me uneasy. Why? Are human brains unable to cope with the benefits of technology if there's not a consciousness doing it? Or is there something inherently evil about this? Or could it be great if used ethically with ethical rules imposed on it (like, say, the data is never stored for more than an hour).
