A computer program is fully capable of teaching most subjects to a student without supervision.

Only people who grew up in closets without normal human interaction can really believe this.

get some fresh air. take a saturday morning and go fishing. Take that freaking iPod out of your ears and go to a coffee shop. Start a conversation with a human being -- a conversation whose end you don't know from the beginning with a being you cannot control.

It's called "living."

Hm. So, you’re saying that people should be outside having conversations with each other.

Why are you on FR, then?

Apparently you've never been involved in any training delivered by computer. It's how I've learned to do quite a few cool things with my architectural CAD program.

Many companies use computer training for new hires; saves other employees having to spend time bringing someone up to speed on the inner workings of the company.
