Yesterday I started reading Fahrenheit 451 and came across a quote that I think is very apt for this topic.

Quote:
"School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts?"
Bradbury, Ray Fahrenheit 451 p 55-56

Thanks for this!
