Computers or teachers?

In this blog post I will discuss the main thing in a classroom, a teacher and the role computers and technology play against them. My question this time is: Will computers replace teachers? 

YES?
So people may argue that students can progress in their studies quicker with the use of a computer. The course or work can be accessed anywhere, at home, at school or on the move with a portable device. Learning with a computer can be so much easier than set times in a school and homework deadlines. This also leads me onto another point, all students work at different paces. Some students may take a while to understand a topic and others may understand it straight away. With technology, students who struggle at a certain topic can work through the exercises in their own time in order to understand.

NO?
You could argue that students have a unique relationship with their teachers and can learn more from them than any computer. Having some one in school who understands you and helps you at any given second is a special relationship to have with someone. No teacher and just computers will spoil it. Also a computer will not explain something further if a student requires it. The computer does not give an example or put a theory into an example in order to illustrate it further, only a person who understands the topic can do that - a teacher.

In my opinion, I like to go to school and learn in a traditional way, with a teacher and paper. I know this sounds ironic coming from a future computer scientist but I prefer it that way.
