There is always a lot of enthusiasm about technology that is ultimately tempered by cold hard reality. When I grew up in the 1990&#x27;s, computers in the classroom were going to change education. But that idea is a farce today. Same thing with space travel, supersonic flight, nuclear power, etc. The landscape is littered with the bones of techno-optimist dreams from the 1980&#x27;s and 1990&#x27;s.
