This tech can also be used to make virtual classrooms for homeschooled children so they can attend an art class in paris and a history class in the 1776 colonial era.....

I think this tech could become a comeplete game changer for education, especially for homeschoolers, imagine being taught by plato and einstein!!!!

If only the education professionals could be trusted to leave out their leftists biases — but they can’t.

In 1989 Bill and Ted sought out So-crates and Freud for a history project.

We are approaching the point where the only weak link in the techno-sphere is the human being.

Skynet is less than a generation away.

I wonder if it was anything like this (Sol euthanasia scene):

I’m a genealogy buff, and I think this technology would be a good way for people today to understand the hardships our ancestors went through. For instance, my grandfather was a coal miner in Leeds, England, who came to America by boat with his wife and kids in 1912. I can’t even imagine going on such a journey with 3 kids under the age of 6. An application like this could show what life was really like back then and would probably be a big hit.

Only because you aren’t a Red Dwarf fan. It was the second thing for me...

I only saw an ep of Red Dwarf once more than 20 years ago, and I was in New Mexico on vacation. I don’t think they ever ran it here in TN.

It is only as good as the people who program it.
