Sal if you keep this up, it will be a crime if you don’t win the Nobel prize

“Different angles of attack” Bahahaha, you sure sound like you know what you’re talking about!!

@jumb0mumb0 I was well aware of the fact that cancer is a category of things, requiring many different angles of attack. You entirely assumed I didn’t know. Here’s a hint: for insults to work, they have to be relevant to the person somehow.
I hope you are simply in a lousy mood or something, otherwise you have the emotional maturity of a snarly teenager. I posted politely and, in fact, knowing cancer is complex. You instantly descended to a mental pissing contest.
How sad

If we go to creative like you predict then I would think that there would have to be a massive shift in values and lifestyles of the general population. I think this would lead to a massive shift in societies and governments. The future sounds scary. I hope humanity rises to the challenge in a way that benefits more than a select few.

i used to watch this in 2060, but then i took an arrow to the knee

On a brighter note, some of us are already creating classrooms like that. Also, in some countries like Finland education careers are already prestigious…So I agree with sal.great
Predictions which are already becoming realities.
If our world survives long enough and we
Can learn to be sustainable and friendly, then i see this becoming a norm. Big Ifs though…

I know sal was focusing on education, but this is a wonderful optimistic view when you throw other quite expectable predictions like energy crisis, environmental disasters, epidemics/famine, capitalistic implosion, and political unrest into the mix. Realistically, we will be lucky to survive the century.
We can only hope technology, literacy, and creativity will truly find solutions for these problems before they drown us.

Number 2 and 3: Have you been in a Scientology classroom. It’s exactly like that.

It’s better to love than to hate but I suppose you’re oblivious to most everything.
January 13, 2012 at 12:12 pm
@jumb0mumb0 You’re right, we have nothing to discuss, I hate your obnoxious presumptions anyway.
January 13, 2012 at 12:23 pm
@Jotto999
Your false beliefs are irrelvant and groundless regarding the excessive use of the phrase “to find a cure for cancer” and not to mention just how incorrect the phrase itself stands. I’m finished with you. And all I was saying was that you to should do the world a favor and go back to sleep, that’s all!
January 13, 2012 at 12:40 pm
@jumb0mumb0 I am well aware of this, and I was talking about cancer as a category. You have done nothing to refute me. “Go back to sleep”. “Next!” You aren’t intimidating at all, your condescension is a disservice to you.
January 13, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Thought the world was gonna end in 2012?
January 13, 2012 at 1:49 pm
I predict high permanent unemployment due to automation/AI(we could be seeing this now in UK and US).
January 13, 2012 at 2:09 pm
@Peopleunit Interesting ideas
January 13, 2012 at 2:57 pm
@Jotto999
What you think and what is are two completely different things. The first fundamental problem with saying “find the cure for cancer” is that there are many different types of cancers depending on where it is in the body and a whole host of other characteristics. Go back to sleep. Next!

@yannbane Computers are fast indeed. But smartphones using a single ARM chip or in case of the iPhone 4S 2 ARM chips. And if yo can make the code more dinamic you can save some seconds in loading time and rune time. That can make a big difference.
It’s easy to see it in infinity blade 2. That game is made for a dubbel ARM. I can run it in my iPod. But it fails when there are things running in the background.
January 13, 2012 at 3:27 pm
@IndustrialFaustXVII Nah, they have no idea. Computers are so fast people wont even notice a difference in speed, and a higher level language helps you express your creativity, rather than manage memory and worry about pointers!
January 13, 2012 at 3:32 pm
@jumb0mumb0 I don’t think it’s a cliche. Just a very difficult and complicated problem yet to be conquered but that humanity is capable of. It kills astounding amounts of people, there’s nothing cliche about seeing the value in curing cancer.
January 13, 2012 at 4:29 pm
You are too optmistic khan.
January 13, 2012 at 5:03 pm
see you in 2060 then khan!
January 13, 2012 at 5:07 pm
what country(ies) do you think will pioneer these changes???
also, i think the traditional school/ classroom setting kinda forces the student to learn . there could be a lack of drive and diligence if students learn from the home etc. on the computer
January 13, 2012 at 5:58 pm
the transition to being judged on what you tangibly produce sounds so interesting. i’m from the UK and there is too much emphasis on grades and testing. this has now led to teaching being orientated around exams rather than actually learning the content and true meaning of a subject. youth unemployment is at a record high and most youths are leaving school without the most basic of education. the politicians in the UK lack innovation and are stuck in traditional, pen and paper based learning
January 13, 2012 at 6:52 pm
The role of teachers will will change, but it won’t increase. Artificial intelligence systems will be able to plan, present and track student progress and development more accurately and efficiently. That and open source initiatives such as your videos here on Youtube will further erode the formal classroom setting.
Also, the distinction between learning and working will continue to blur. To ‘attend school’ or to work for an advanced company will include both, learning, and working.

15:35 Surprised Sal used the cliché “find the cure for cancer”
No disrespect intended
Thumbs up if you agree. Thumbs up for knowledge & truth
