When my parents were in school, they hand wrote essays and used type writers. Correcting a mistake meant rewriting an entire page! When they needed to research something, this meant spending a day in the library manually searching for quotes/citations. When I was in school I had a rudimentary spellchecker, Microsoft word, and Wikipedia.

Now a grade school student has access to grammarly. In a few years they’ll probably have automated fact checks and text generation.

What will happen? My bet is that we’ll expect a lot more from students a lot earlier.
