In 2010 there were significant improvements in the accuracy and reliability of lie detectors. Portable detectors are now incorporated within all multi-media workstations. The computer questions the user about aspects of a composition.

Young people can access learning materials from home, supported by a two way tutor link. There have been stormy reactions from parents, students and employers who claim this kind of learning is not working.
Most Universities find that their curriculum is inappropriate for the post-industrial information economy. As the concept of employment has disappeared so too has our concept of being educated. The way we think of ourselves has changed because of new ways of living and making a living.
Students are now able to do without teachers to get hold of information, to think about the world and to consider their learning progress.
