Oracle, Superior Education by Observation, Virtural Reality

[Arthur Hanson]

Out of Oracle's Start Up Cloud Accelerator comes Interactive Scientific that lets students actually see how molecules interact and make decisions. This is an ideal example of getting away from education teaching facts and figures from text books and start directly with analytical thinking by actually observing how molecules interact in different settings using VR at a very small fraction of the cost of a lab. We need to dramatically lower the cost and increase the speed of education for traditional education is to slow and way to expensive. Much education now is run for the benefit of the current education establishment and not for students or society in general. We have to take advantage of the tools the semi/nanotech sector has given us and use them. Traditional education has not changed much fundamentally since the Greeks and this is a tragedy and detriment to all society. This is but one more market for visionaries and the tech sector to combine forces, shake up the old, outdated established way of teaching and bring it into the future. I see this being done from pre school to the very most advanced studies. Our old system is driving us bankrupt and slowing progress to a crawl. The "Great Acceleration" is here and this is part of it.
