Maybe one day kids in school will be able to learn history by experiencing it. I was reading about Kabir and Ramanuja. Apparently they were active in India around the 14th-15th centuries. Then I wondered what else was happening around that time. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15th_century). But it would've been cool if there could be something like the "2nd life" where kids in school could go live a virtual life in these times. Maybe they could be given "Virtual Reality" gear so they can feel and smell stuff. I think this will be such an enriching experience. Technologically we are not too far from this.
Imagine doing this in school with your classmates. Wont you be waiting to get back to class. Will kids want to "drop-out" from such experiences. I mean can doing drugs or canoodling with the opposite gender beat such experiences. They would have a medium to express anything that they want. All their energy can be easily channeled. The schools will look more like montessori schools wont they?
