Children will learn by downloading information directly
into their brains within 30 years, an education expert has
predicted.
Chris Parry, the new chief executive of the Independent Schools Council, said
"Matrix-style" technology would render
traditional lessons obsolete.
He said: "It's a very short route from wireless technology to
actually getting the electrical connections in your brain to absorb
that knowledge."
Mr Parry, a former Rear Admiral, spent three years determining
the future strategic context for the military in a senior role at
the Ministry of Defence.
He said the Keanu Reeves thriller may not look like science
fiction in 30 years' time.
"Within 30 years, sitting down and learning something will be a
thing of the past," Mr Parry said.
"I think people will be able to directly access, Matrix-style,
all the vocabulary you need for a foreign language, leaving you
just to clear up the grammar."
Mr Parry is now preparing the ISC's 1,300 private schools, which collectively
teach half a million children, for a high-tech future.
