As a formed ed-tech evangelist with startup capital and dreams of making the world so "easy" for learning - I profess, we need a helluva lot more friction involved in teaching. Even if we have to artificially inject it. Nobody ever climbed Everest without first going up a lot of smaller hills, day after day after day. As Kundera in "Slowness" relates - speed is about forgetting and slowness about memory. The first is necessary at times but the later is crucial to intelligence and learning - for experience itself is of necessity but the slow recall of the past.
