1.    Will there still be schools and teachers in the future?

Scientists predicted that in 40 years there will be no schools nor teachers. They claimed that in the society of the future both schools and teachers will cease to exist due to the advancement of technology, we won't need to attend school because we could study at our own home using a computer interface that allow us to chat with our classmates and  be thought by a virtual teachers from a program.. The students won't need to travel to their schools anymore and waste lots of energy in the process. Studying from home will most likely be more comfortable, the students will have more time to spend with their family daily and won't go through a tough schedule. The virtual teachers itself will be much more intelligent and could teach with the most suitable ways for the students. Furthermore, the cost of education will decrease because there are no school buildings and highly educated teachers. On the other hand, lots of people doubts the virtual system will be effective and artificial intelligence could replace a human being as a teacher. . In addition, directly chatting with classmates are much better and the competition between students wouldn't have disappear in the normal school.The human teacher would be able to understand the students better because humans have feelings while programs or computers doesn't. Artificial intelligence could probably teach in different ways but the human ways of teaching are irreplaceable.
