Google can now translate ancient Egyptian language

(Summary)

Google has launch a new software called Fabricius, the first digital tool to understand hieroglyphs. It provides an interactive learning platform for your understanding the ancient symbols and translating your words into the hieroglyph format, using machine learning. 
Moreover the desktop version can support experts' research, allow treachers using Google Classroom to access many tools to teach the subject, and contribute to your understanding ancient Egyptian history. 
However some experts say that the software can not replace highly trained experts in reading ancient inscriptions yet.

(My Signal)

I predict that machine learning will acceralate innovation of EdTech and educational system will change in the future. 

Many parents might have had such experience as online educational programs supported their hometeaching during school closure due to COVID-19. There were tons of free fun educational programs for kids from kindergartener to high school students which private companies provided all over the world and education-obsessed parents exchanged information on social media. Those parents who could succeeded in using online educational tools may have doubt for existence of school.

On the other hand, this situation generated a big gap among kids. Some kids were addicted to video games or watching Youtube and spent long time for them.
 
It's necessary sary for commonly using EdTech to infrastructure the IT environment by support from government in order that every kids can get opportunities to learn from EdTech.

I hope educational system will turn more flexible and kids will be able to learn more actively. If kids can have more options for education like homeschooling or combining homeschooling and education at school in addition of going to school, EdTech will make the best of its pros and contribute to happier lives.
