Conrad Wolfram makes a point in his talk on TED. It's not the computation that needs to be tackled by us humans but the questions and problems that math solves and the results from these calculations. Educators need to move away from the mind-pen-and-paper approach, un-learn old-world math and take on a whole new approach to handing down Math education to future generations.
Wolfram is very optimistic about this approach and feels that whoever adopts this first can get a tremendous economy boost. What do you think? Here's the video:
