Why "learn" anything when the computer just gives you the answer?

The computer won't chide you for not manually gathering and reviewing sources for an essay, not understanding units in physics formulas to check your own answers, not extracting casual relationships between events by closely reading a dense text. It'll give you the answer as quickly as possible so that you can go back to viewing short videos.

All the information has always been out there for students to pick it up but a vanishingly small few actually do.
