Education and Information Overload.

The amount of information which has to be imbibed by children is growing with every generation. At the same time due to various factors like good nutrition children are reaching pubertal years much earlier than the previous generations. The amount of years before teens become self-reliant young adults is also growing due to the increasing population which results in increasing competition. Increased competition means everyone has to learn "more and more of less and less" to create a lifelong niche where he can spend his earning years eking out a comfortable income.

This means that soon we will have to find out a way to give our children an instant 'download' of information to the brain to save time and energy. Will this lead to implantable chips in the brain or simply of giving them some handheld electronic encyclopedia which they can refer to instantly?
