3. It will soon be that assignments will need to be written in class, and classrooms
will not be able to allow computers.

Really, we are hitting a turning point.

The great source of information, i.e., the internet is becoming useless as a source of information.

The great teaching tool, i.e., computers are becoming detrimental to children's learning.

The great simplifier of financial transactions is becoming too susceptible to fraud to be of any use in financial transactions.

Sharpen your pencils, folks. We're going to be needing them. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
