It's past Kavin's bedtime and he is Googling things like:
"how can UV light harden tooth filling"
Which takes us to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_curing_light
The very first line leads him to ask:
"What is polymerisation"
"What is a resin"
"What is a composite"
Between Google and Wikipedia, we can basically shut down schools, libraries and parenting. Knowledge is now in the cloud. Also, @[583438337:2048:Sugata Mitra] should be able to stop crying himself hoarse telling people this. People should just wake up and realise that the way knowledge is imbibed has fundamentally changed forever.
Well, there is still some role for parents. He is now standing on the bed explaining something about football to me. And I have questions for him, because he is doing something with his legs that he calls scissors, and I don't understand it.
We still need parents and teachers. To teach sports. And make sure they don't kill themselves and burn the house down when doing science experiments.
Now Kavin wants me to watch while he tries coke and mentos and fire. His next question:
OK Google, is coca cola flammable.
