Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has an idea that could help fix the U.S. public education system: computers, Reuters reports. 路透社报道,苹果公司的创始人史蒂夫•沃兹尼亚克为美国的公共教育出了一个点子:计算机。
Technology is getting to the point where devices are built today that have all the sensors humans have – of movement, eyesight and hearing, although they are still far from replacing human teachers. 尽管科技还远远不能代替人类老师,但它的发展已经可以使当今的机器具有人类所有的传感——运动、视力和听力。
"We're getting closer to where you can make devices that become a friend and not just a computerized textbook," he said. 他说:“我们已经离这一天越来越近了,机器可以是朋友,而不仅仅是一个计算机式的教科书。”
Wozniak said education systems have not adapted to children's needs, with schools adhering to a top-down teaching philosophy. 沃兹尼亚克说如今的教育系统难以适应孩子的需要,因为学校都遵从自上而下的教学原则。

"If you had 30 teachers in a class with 30 students, they'd all get individual attention and be moving at their own paces," Wozniak said. "So I think someday a computer could possibly be a teacher."

“如果一个班上30个孩子对应有30个老师,那么每个孩子都会被注意到,而且可以按照各自的进度学习,”沃兹尼亚克说,“所以我认为计算机将来某一天可能会变成老师。”
