Holographic TEACHERS!

See this SoundCloud audio in the original post

Dive into a world where the chalkboard meets the hologram in this riveting episode of "What The IF"! Join Philip, Matt, and Gaby as they venture into the classrooms of the future, where holographic teachers reign supreme. Imagine Albert Einstein teaching physics, and Marie Curie guiding you through chemistry, all from the comfort of your classroom, or even your living room. But it's not all quantum leaps and bounds; our hosts ponder the quirks of remote learning, from the intimacy of tea and cookies with holograms to the peculiar notion of holographic open-heart surgery in space. Can technology replace the warmth of a human touch or the serendipity of a hallway conversation? Will universities turn into Netflix-like services, offering courses by celebrity scientists? And, of course, the existential question: will AI eventually render human educators obsolete, or will the traditional classroom survive the digital onslaught? Buckle up for a hilarious journey through the possibilities and pitfalls of virtual education, where the future of learning is only a hologram away.
