Education has always done a terrible job of keeping up with technology. Kids in school now will graduate into a world in which all information will be instantly available and will be presented in whatever format is most suitable. They'll have computers correcting their grammar, improving their ideas, completing their sentences and paragraphs. Instead of learning those technologies themselves and instructing students how to best utilize them, teachers tell kids, "that's cheating". When you graduate and get your first job, your boss isn't going to take away your books, phone, and laptop, and ask you to write a report about a well understood subject. I understand why that's a common practice in education. Maybe it's time to change.
