Education is a must. People must be educated before they can make logical decisions on anything. Their lack of full knowledge allows many organizations to use and control people for their own purposes. Many of the problems in the world today are caused by uneducated people who don’t fully understand what they are doing. In addition both elementary and adult education systems need to be upgraded using modern technology. The Academy was founded by Plato in 387 BC. Students sat in a class while a teacher lectured. We are still using this same method today which is no longer sufficient. With the vast increase in knowledge and communications students can call up any information instantly using a cell phone or computer. Currently students need interactive computerized programs to learn sufficiently. Soon these types of devices will become part of our body and we will just think of what we want to know and the information will be available. Some day we will need to download information directly into the brain to keep up with knowledge but at the same time we must protect ourselves from being programed like a computer. Education is not only a right, it is a necessity.
