Will technology replace educators.

To top it all that is going on with our system of teaching, incorporating the core curriculum, standards, teacher evaluations and the rest, there is one one question hanging above our heads: will we be replaced by robots?
Today technology develops extraordinary fast taking over jobs of ordinary people and will it take over our jobs as educators? MOOCs or the giant, to the point of the word, classroom, Khan Academy online learning are new developing industry that will change the way of learning. It will change the classroom.  Will IT?
As they said when the radio was created, the teachers will be replaced by it because it is enough to spread the word.But it was not enough. I may be subjective but I strongly believe we won't be replaced. We see our students, we talk eye to eye, we feel their pain and we do what is necessary to sent them into this new world.
