21st Century Learning and Teaching

From fields and streams to offices, factories, hospitals and transportation systems, organizations are using internet of things (IoT) sensors to collect massive amounts of data in order to improve operations and increase sustainability. 

Analyzing this information reveals patterns that can nip maintenance problems in the bud and lead to better decisions about resource allocation. As data accumulates, more functions can transition over to automation. Systems become smarter, using artificial intelligence to make speedy decisions without human intervention.

The moral of the story is that when lives depend on fully automated systems, it's a good idea to keep an eye on those systems anyway. (And if that's not the moral of the story, it should have been.)

How do you use something that's fully automatic, anyway? What is the responsibility of the "user"? Can we just hand over control to the bots?

Recent events in the news suggest that when it comes to using our automatic products and features, some people are doing it wrong.
