The document discusses the evolution of educational technology and compares it to the early stages of filmmaking. It argues that educational technology is currently in the "Keystone Cops" era, referring to the slapstick comedy films of the 1910s. The document then examines key milestones in the history of film from 1878 to 1977 to illustrate the progression from early experiments to major blockbusters. It poses the question of what the learning equivalent is to the "Keystone Cops" era and speculates on what might transport education to a future comparable to the modern blockbuster era in film represented by Star Wars. The document closes by inviting participants to share their hopes for the future of learning in 2037 or 2077 through a tweet.
