Apps could replace school, says Google's vice-president of research

Will children of the future be taught solely by a computer? That could be a possibility, according to Google's vice-president of research Alfred Spector. He said he thinks apps and technologies that are widely derided as being distracting could actually improve how we learn. And he says this may lead to a future where students do not need to go to school in order to get a formal education. Google's Alfred Spector (shown) says technology could replace teachers in future.
