In the Future, Who Will Need Teachers?

Will Web connections and new apps really replace much of our human need for real-live teachers? If the free-for-all business of guitar lessons is any indication, the answer is yes, as Your Guitar Sage's Erich Andreas and WSJ's Dennis Berman explain on The News Hub.

The current hype is that ubiquitous Internet connections and tablet devices will emerge as a competitive threat to real-life teachers, kill the textbook business and bring low-price learning to billions around the world.

Such big changes may take a generation, as problems at many for-profit colleges are showing today. But these forces are already at play, in their full smashup glory, in what has happened to the simple guitar lesson.
