You go to school and the computer tells you how to learn, how to study, what to study. There is actually no relationship between the educator and the educated, no human relationship. It becomes mechanical. If I am taught by a computer how to add, if I make a mistake, it tells me I have made a mistake, so I establish a relationship with that machine. In that relationship, I become mechanical. Whereas in the human relationship, you are the educator and I am the student, and there is the interchange of human relationship, which is totally denied when I am relying entirely on the computer.
