Hello, I come here to watch the video in Covid-19 time. The answer to your question at the minute 5:03 "Why children have to gather toghether to attend the class given by the virtual teacher" is given nowadays. Children are too young to understand how important is the study (self-study actually) and they feel utterly lonely. Sharing their thoughts, or ideas, with others it's very important. They do not perceive study as we do.

Ken's thoughts on why people in the past would have assumed that Electric and Steam cars would be the vehicles of the future are so interesting. I guess thinkers of the past did not consider that, ultimately, gasoline was the most profitable and therefore would be used no matter what? Is it possible that electric or steam could be made to be more profitable than oil? If not, I don't think Capitalism will ever let Electric Cars become the norm, despite their clear advantages.
