TPTB want all education to be by computer because you cannot discuss ideas with a computer, or win an argument with a computer.

Whoever learns by means of a computer program cannot successfully question or challenge the content of what they are being taught. Whoever controls the computer and its contents is in total control.

The computer is totally authoritarian and in control.
