As a teen, I believe 'The future has not happen' but is in the making. If a kid can become an expert quickly, cheaply, and easily over the net, then what happens when they become adults? They can quickly reach the top, because their education was fulfilled during their childhood (when most of the time it isn't).
There are more kids doing that than you think. It's becoming a trend use the net, to study ahead in a class (such as a new book in english...etc), because chances are many of the teacher resources are available to students. It's nice to see that A+ when you said exactly what the teacher wanted to hear, without much effort.
I want to see what happens when these kids grow up (hitting college), that's when the future really starts happening.
