As a nerdy programmer and human computer interaction researcher, the fact that we are getting incredibly close to having all of the bits required (multitouch, extremely high pixel density screens, batteries/processors that merely add millimeters of thickness to it, recent advances in neural networks, fast enough wireless connectivity to stream high resolution interactive content, etc.) to build this technology is extremely exciting.

As someone who has been doing their best over the past ~10 years to understand how technology has interfaced with societies, cultures, political & business interests, etc. over human history - and all the ways that it has gone wrong - the first thing that I can think of is: who will make this "Young Lady's Primer", and what are their incentives for making it?

A Young Lady's Primer built by the Chinese Communist Party, or Facebook, or American evangelical Christians would be an extremely scary thing.

How can we nerd out on building the former while actively working against the latter?
