Education Technology Should Maximize the Benefits of Human to Human Relationship
I believe that no education technology should ever be designed to obsolete human relationship. If we keep running that model then we'll get an AI tutoring system that knows more about you than any teacher or parent possibly could know about you and it can match its knowledge of you with a teacher. And become the most charismatic persuasive beautiful caring loving teacherly authority. Doing what on whose orders, regardless of the leading relationship to your parents, your friends, your actual teachers because it is so much better talking to you and knowing what you want to do and keeping you happy and entertained. So I believe educational technology should instead maximize the benefit of human to human relationship.
