Cristina: /* Qbots for Education */

A quantum robot "QBot", is a machine capable of carrying out a series of complex actions determined by a program, that uses quantum technology. The first Qbot was showcased at WWDC in 2041 after Apple was taken over by Bill Gate's daughter, Jennifer Katherine Gates who famously said "I feel hungry. I could go for an apple", which is why the Apple logo now has two bites out of it.

Qbots have a variety of purposes and uses that range from helper Qbots, Qbots for education, and Home Qbots.

== Home Qbots ==

[[File:Robot-housework.jpg|200px|thumb|left|An example of a Home Qbot]]

Home Qbots are used to free up time for humans by taking over mundane household chores, specifically cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Qbot technology is sophisticated to make decisions regarding properly separating laundry, creating personalized meals due to preferences/allergies, and closely monitoring the detailed cleaning of a household.

Due to their low cost and easy maintenance, more people are able to have in home help though which frees up more time for humans to spend with their families, take up hobbies, or even be able to work more effectively.

== Helper Qbots ==

As a response to equity issues for people with different needs, a series of Qbots were developed to support members of society with needs. For example, Seeing helper Qbots are used for people with vision impairment to help them move throughout the world safely.

Hearing Qbots communicate hearing impaired individuals a sign language translators. Government officials recognized that building helper Qbots to support individuals with disabilities was far more economical and provided more access to support. However, this means that individuals with skills in helping disabled communities (e.g., sign language translators) became integral in helping to build and program Qbots.

== Qbots for Education ==

Education Qbots range from small, programmable disks which students can create simple programs on (e.g., dice games) to larger, more complex machines for students to program complex tasks into. The goal of Qbots for Education is to increase Technical Literacy and proficiency in quantum computer programming.

School boards began adopting Qbot technology more readily for education in 2050 after Ashton Kutcher and Elon Musk decided to purchase and run the LA School board. "We figured it was more effective to overhaul the whole school board than to get our grandchildren's teachers on board with using new technology in the classroom - and hey, if Ms. Microsoft owns Apple now why can't Kelso be in charge of kids' learning?"

Cristina: /* Education in a Quantum World */

Quantum technology (i.e. quantum computing) is the category of scientific advancement of devices that use the superpositions of electrons to transfer information via teleportation through quantum entanglement. These technologies are smaller than predecessors, a result of processing happening via the cloud through Quantum Networks as opposed to hardware on the devices themselves, thereby eliminating the need for powerful hardware in devices.

Devices such as Wearables have expanded the market of quantum devices. These devices are significantly cheaper than "classic computers" devices that preceded them such as smartphones and laptops, as a result of the low cost involved of manufacturing the simple and "processing-less" devices and the ease of access to the Quantum Network. Wearables further expanded the market when manufacturing turned from traditional assembly to 3D printing using reusable materials such as aluminum and degradable natural plastics.

== History ==

At the precipice of private telecoms companies building their 5G infrastructure, Chinese quantum physicists discovered the ability to teleport data through the quantum entanglement of photons. The initial experiment involved teleporting data from earth to space using photons. The physicists successfully affected the photon in space by manipulating the photon on earth. This "spooky action" as Albert Einstein described it in theory a century earlier based on the principals outlined by Richard Feynman, was then extrapolated by Elon Musk after a conversation with Joe Rogan on the latter's podcast. "If they can do it with photons, imagine the possibility with electrons too; a much more light weight and abundant particle," he said in the 2024 interview. After paying his way into a discovery, Musk's team successfully recreated the Chinese experiment with an electron.

Having already built the infrastructure for cloud based quantum computing a decade prior, IBM teamed up with Musk in creating the first Quantum Network. A successor to the internet, data transfers of any size were instantaneous as a result of being "teleported" rather than transmitted. This new, faster, and cheaper network instantly outdated the still growing 5G network, where data transmission speeds were capped at 5Gb/s. Reconceptualizing his initial plan for a satellite network providing 5G to the planet, Musk and SpaceX launched Quantum Network (now branded Q.Network - "the last time I got creative with naming didn't go so well.") satellites in orbit, providing free global access to any Q.Network enabled device. This marked the first time in history when a network was launched ahead of capable devices being available on the market.

== Wearables ==
[[File:Wearable.jpg|200px|thumb|left|An example of wearable technology]]

'''Progression'''
The first wave of Q.Network enabled devices came from familiar companies such as Samsung and Apple in the form of their line of smartphones. Alongside WiFi and mobile network capabilities, these generation of smartphones also had the ability to connect to the Q.Network. This quick adoption was thanks to the open patent and ease of access to the Q.Network. "As it turns out, the hard part was discovering just how to manipulate electrons in superposition, and recreating it is as easy as... Apple pie," smirked Tim Cook in a 2026 interview with Vanity Fair.

'''The Band'''
Remembering his 2018 interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and his views of humans as primitive cyborgs, Musk decided the smartphone was hindering the expansion of the Q.Network. "Right now, we're cyborgs. We have access to all this information instantaneously, but our input is primitive. We're using our thumbs on a screen. We need to think past the smartphone."

In 2027 Musk teamed up with star of That 70s Show and creator of Punk'd Ashton Kutcher, to take advantage of the star's investment in 17 private tech companies to create a new devices for the Quantum era.

[[File:Musk_and_kutcher.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Musk and Kutcher teamed up in 2029]]

The prototype for The Band premiered in a 2029 press conference hosted by Kutcher. "I got to play Steve Jobs once in a movie that got overshadowed by the Michael Fassbender one a year later, and now I get to be his successor." The band is a twist on what Apple had been rehashing for over a decade at the point, a device to wear on your wrist. The twist came when Kutcher unveiled the product without a screen. Instead of a screen, the band projected directed low-light lasers to the wearers eyes, creating an image akin to a Heads Up Display (HUD) that only the wearer can see. This was a particular kick to Apple, who had been developing this laser-to-eye technology for their never-released Apple Glasses product in the mid to late 2010s. "It makes you feel like a Terminator!" Kutcher famously exclaimed in the now historical press conference. Even better, the band uses solar cells embedded within the silicone of the band to store solar energy that is stored in a small battery.

== The Band 4.0 ==

[[File:The_Band.jpeg|200px|thumb|left|The Band]]

When interviewed for a 2031 edition of GQ Magazine, Kutcher and Musk were asked why they haven't obtained trillionaire status. While explaining the supreme low-cost of accessing the Q.Network - or any Quantum-based network of information, and the use of cloud computing keeping hardware costs at pennies on the dollar, Kutcher let slip the latest development in the then unannounced Band 4.0. Here, Kutcher said, "when you can 3D print using plant-based degradable plastics, these things just won't cost us even a dollar to make. That savings gets passed on to the consumer, and we're not a pharmaceutical company to be gouging 7000 times the cost of manufacturing."

The Band 4.0 was officially announced the next day, at the shocking low price of $40.

== An Essential Service ==

Having learned their lesson during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, governments around the world acknowledged the need for every person in their respective nations to have access to the internet. In a U.N. summit in 2021, 170 nations signed an agreement to make the internet an essential service to be provided to all citizens of the globe. The tipping point for the "Data Accords" was the worldwide lack of education provided to children during the quarantine lockdown. "You can call it whatever you want, but unless every child had access to a functioning device and stable internet connection, Distance Learning could hardly be considered education," said President Mike Pence, weeks after the massive coronary suffered by the late President Doland J. Trump after learning he truly was suffering from hair loss.

Initial rollout was difficult, given the limitations of governments' infrastructure and the high costs of network expansion. But the release of Musk's Q.Network Satellites providing access points to the Q.Network, governments now only had to worry about providing its citizens with affordable Q.Network Capable Devices.

In 2031 with the release of The Band 4.0 device at the cost of $40 per unit, the world's governments only responsibility now was making sure shelves were stocked.

== Education in a Quantum World ==

To promote equal access to technology, school boards had to take a multi-faceted approach; the landscape was changing so fast, that the initial future of 5G was blown past before it even got off the ground. Education reforms in the wake of COVID-19 saw heavy investment to embed new pedagogies into teacher practices. This included in no small part the use of technologies. Education was negatively impacted by the lack of access to devices and the internet, rendering the then untested Distance Learning useless. Having learned that adopting current technologies as essential to prepare a student for their tomorrows, school boards across the globe adopted the goal of restructuring their finances to move away from traditional practices and into new pedagogies.

By 2041 with access to information and the Q.Network as cheap as a family meal at McDonald's, curriculums had to be updated for this new reality. A new addition to most curriculum was Digital Literacies - teaching students how to make the abundance of technologies and devices in their everyday lives work for them. In addition, the focus of subjects steered away from 20th century "information memorization" (useless in the age of Quantum Networking), and instead leaned into problem solving.

Tech companies started to partner with school boards to provide teachers with the necessary training and education to deliver the "Digital Literacies" curriculum, outfit students with updated technology, and run outreach programs for families to learn how to use technology effectively. New Quantum Robots ("Q-Bots") were created for students to program using Quantum programming.

'''Building Heterotopias''' / Rather than read about conventional ways of using wikimedia in education, we are going to look to the opportunities of speculative fiction for collaborative world-building - and for developing critical literacies (by exploring the opportunities wikimedia tools while also leveraging speculative fabulation for a re/imagining of educational 'realities' and futures, or for creating encyclopedias of an alternative world).

• 'Speculative fictions describe many dystopic worlds brought on by the integration of new technologies including human-alien interspecies mating, bio-warfare, and human–machine (cyborg) integration.

== '''What if…? What might the future of 'education' and 'learning' look like?''' ==

The aim of this collaborative project is to, in small groups, engage speculative (educational) theory in order to think about possible 'educational futures’ and/or the impacts of technology, ecology, and/or other events (see the concept of the Novum, the Black Swan event, or just look at Covid19).

How might we examine current trends or states-of-affairs in the world today (technology-driven, political, environmental, etc) and take a look at current states of affairs in schools, teaching/learning, pedagogy, educational policy, technology use, and media culture - and then 'extrapolate' to imagine possible impacts, future events, and future states of affairs? Why is the work of looking forward and imagining possibility and 'theorizing' important? Most importantly, how does a 'speculative' educational theory help us imagine possible futures (to cautiously avoid... or eventuate: 'inspire readers to speculate on what needs to be done in the present to arrive at an alternative future’).

What do you imagine it will feel like to learn in the future? What will ‘teaching’, ‘schooling’ or ‘learning’ look like (if current challenges and problems are not deal with, or if radical 'innovations' or technologies or pedagogies applied? For example, will we learn alone, in a community, in what contexts/roles? What will be the role of technology in learning – in relation to pedagogy? What will be the fate of (current) institutions? What are the 'ecological' or systemic relations between educational/learning worlds and events/innovations/states of affairs in the world?

----

'''In small groups (3-4 people)''', using the models/resources from class as a starting point, you will be imagining a possible future of (or alternative world) for via 'science fiction' storytelling.

Expectations: Use science/speculative fiction world-building techniques and processes of extrapolation, etc, (covered in class) to imagine some future of education and or learning.

To begin, you need to identify the larger/over-reaching problems facing education, schools and youth today – and then consider a future condition or “state of affairs” in relation to the challenges or current problems, challenges, or opportunities – be them, sociocultural, ecological, institutional (schools, politics, workplaces), pedagogical and/or technological.

'''Tip:''' Consider the conditional term: '''“What if …?”'''

'''Tip:''' Revisit concepts like ‘Extrapolation’ and the Novum -- and feel free to explore the specific critical affordances of both dystopian and utopian and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotopia_(space) heterotopian] modes of art/storytelling (to make critical points about learning, schooling, education, and technology today, through looking into the ‘mirror’ of possible futures).

'''Tip:''' You can start anywhere or with anything: with a technology (e.g., VR, Siri, 'robots', surveillance, bio-genetics, and other 'usual suspects' of our post-humanist era) - or you can start with significant pedagogical and social justice challenges (disability, inclusion, in/equity, and so n).

'''Tip''' Have fun with genre conventions like time travel or counter-factual history or things like the Novum. Consider critical literary tools that have been used throughout the history of utopian/dystopian art and literature: satire and irony.

Be sure to include contextualizing details for your world-building (Where/when is this imagined world taking place).

'''Optional Genres or Narrative Conceits:''' In constructng your alternative or future world, consider using – or mixing – genres like:

• Wikipedia ‘encyclopedic’ mode for telling your story through Wiki discourse conventions.

• A wiki museum of ‘found artefacts' (e.g., present documents like memoir/diary, maps, photos, news-clippings, text messages, social media posts, etc ‘taken’ from that alternative history/future).

• Literary Modes: Third Person or embodied First-Person narrative accounts (e.g., through ‘the eyes’ of people living in this imagined world).

• Mix up these genres – or devise variations – or figure out a new way to present your world/story.

'''Counterfactual History Option:''' A historical ‘what if’ (twisting the past) that changes our present (= we live in an alternative timeline in the present). The most famous counterfactual historical point of departure: “What if Nazi Germany won WWII”? Consider an educational counterfactual (e.g., What if Edgerton Ryerson opposed, instead of promoted, cultural genocide through residential schooling systems?)

----

'''Formal Expectations:'''

• Genre: See above. Up to you as a group to use one or more genres - or decide on how to mix up genres.

• Length: Minimum 1750-2000 words / 3000 MAX! (for a three person group). Add some images that show aspects of the world, or reflect key themes, technologies, ideas, etc.

• Truman states: SFs offer us generative practices for imagining a different future, but they must be grounded in ''''response-ability'''' for the worlds we inherit and create. Just keep this in mind as you being to speculate and do world-building.

• Ensure that your alter/future world-building either ‘extrapolates' in ways that help us thinking critically about the present and the future, cautions us to (dystopain) perils embedded in our present world/system, and/or 'invite readers to speculate on what needs to be done in the present to arrive at an alternative future' (author)

• Try to have some fun! And don't worry if it gets weird, out there, that is fine.

'''For class discussion''', at some point (last day of class, possibly), I will ask you to be able to reflect and evaluate on this project: was it valuable? What process did you go through to arrive at your 'problematic' and then create your world? What extra-course literary/film or theory resources did you use? Did/how did the project connect to any course themes (e.g., technology-pedagogy)?

Cristina: /* The Band 4.0 */

Quantum technology (i.e. quantum computing) is the category of scientific advancement of devices that use the superpositions of electrons to transfer information via teleportation through quantum entanglement. These technologies are smaller than predecessors, a result of processing happening via the cloud through Quantum Networks as opposed to hardware on the devices themselves, thereby eliminating the need for powerful hardware in devices.

Devices such as Wearables have expanded the market of quantum devices. These devices are significantly cheaper than "classic computers" devices that preceded them such as smartphones and laptops, as a result of the low cost involved of manufacturing the simple and "processing-less" devices and the ease of access to the Quantum Network. Wearables further expanded the market when manufacturing turned from traditional assembly to 3D printing using reusable materials such as aluminum and degradable natural plastics.

== History ==

At the precipice of private telecoms companies building their 5G infrastructure, Chinese quantum physicists discovered the ability to teleport data through the quantum entanglement of photons. The initial experiment involved teleporting data from earth to space using photons. The physicists successfully affected the photon in space by manipulating the photon on earth. This "spooky action" as Albert Einstein described it in theory a century earlier based on the principals outlined by Richard Feynman, was then extrapolated by Elon Musk after a conversation with Joe Rogan on the latter's podcast. "If they can do it with photons, imagine the possibility with electrons too; a much more light weight and abundant particle," he said in the 2024 interview. After paying his way into a discovery, Musk's team successfully recreated the Chinese experiment with an electron.

Having already built the infrastructure for cloud based quantum computing a decade prior, IBM teamed up with Musk in creating the first Quantum Network. A successor to the internet, data transfers of any size were instantaneous as a result of being "teleported" rather than transmitted. This new, faster, and cheaper network instantly outdated the still growing 5G network, where data transmission speeds were capped at 5Gb/s. Reconceptualizing his initial plan for a satellite network providing 5G to the planet, Musk and SpaceX launched Quantum Network (now branded Q.Network - "the last time I got creative with naming didn't go so well.") satellites in orbit, providing free global access to any Q.Network enabled device. This marked the first time in history when a network was launched ahead of capable devices being available on the market.

== Wearables ==
[[File:Wearable.jpg|200px|thumb|left|An example of wearable technology]]

'''Progression'''
The first wave of Q.Network enabled devices came from familiar companies such as Samsung and Apple in the form of their line of smartphones. Alongside WiFi and mobile network capabilities, these generation of smartphones also had the ability to connect to the Q.Network. This quick adoption was thanks to the open patent and ease of access to the Q.Network. "As it turns out, the hard part was discovering just how to manipulate electrons in superposition, and recreating it is as easy as... Apple pie," smirked Tim Cook in a 2026 interview with Vanity Fair.

'''The Band'''
Remembering his 2018 interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and his views of humans as primitive cyborgs, Musk decided the smartphone was hindering the expansion of the Q.Network. "Right now, we're cyborgs. We have access to all this information instantaneously, but our input is primitive. We're using our thumbs on a screen. We need to think past the smartphone."

In 2027 Musk teamed up with star of That 70s Show and creator of Punk'd Ashton Kutcher, to take advantage of the star's investment in 17 private tech companies to create a new devices for the Quantum era.

[[File:Musk_and_kutcher.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Musk and Kutcher teamed up in 2029]]

The prototype for The Band premiered in a 2029 press conference hosted by Kutcher. "I got to play Steve Jobs once in a movie that got overshadowed by the Michael Fassbender one a year later, and now I get to be his successor." The band is a twist on what Apple had been rehashing for over a decade at the point, a device to wear on your wrist. The twist came when Kutcher unveiled the product without a screen. Instead of a screen, the band projected directed low-light lasers to the wearers eyes, creating an image akin to a Heads Up Display (HUD) that only the wearer can see. This was a particular kick to Apple, who had been developing this laser-to-eye technology for their never-released Apple Glasses product in the mid to late 2010s. "It makes you feel like a Terminator!" Kutcher famously exclaimed in the now historical press conference. Even better, the band uses solar cells embedded within the silicone of the band to store solar energy that is stored in a small battery.

== The Band 4.0 ==

[[File:The_Band.jpeg|200px|thumb|left|The Band]]

When interviewed for a 2031 edition of GQ Magazine, Kutcher and Musk were asked why they haven't obtained trillionaire status. While explaining the supreme low-cost of accessing the Q.Network - or any Quantum-based network of information, and the use of cloud computing keeping hardware costs at pennies on the dollar, Kutcher let slip the latest development in the then unannounced Band 4.0. Here, Kutcher said, "when you can 3D print using plant-based degradable plastics, these things just won't cost us even a dollar to make. That savings gets passed on to the consumer, and we're not a pharmaceutical company to be gouging 7000 times the cost of manufacturing."

The Band 4.0 was officially announced the next day, at the shocking low price of $40.

== An Essential Service ==

Having learned their lesson during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, governments around the world acknowledged the need for every person in their respective nations to have access to the internet. In a U.N. summit in 2021, 170 nations signed an agreement to make the internet an essential service to be provided to all citizens of the globe. The tipping point for the "Data Accords" was the worldwide lack of education provided to children during the quarantine lockdown. "You can call it whatever you want, but unless every child had access to a functioning device and stable internet connection, Distance Learning could hardly be considered education," said President Mike Pence, weeks after the massive coronary suffered by the late President Doland J. Trump after learning he truly was suffering from hair loss.

Initial rollout was difficult, given the limitations of governments' infrastructure and the high costs of network expansion. But the release of Musk's Q.Network Satellites providing access points to the Q.Network, governments now only had to worry about providing its citizens with affordable Q.Network Capable Devices.

In 2031 with the release of The Band 4.0 device at the cost of $40 per unit, the world's governments only responsibility now was making sure shelves were stocked.

== Education in a Quantum World ==

To promote equal access to technology, school boards had to take a multi-faceted approach; the landscape was changing so fast, that the initial future of 5G was blown past before it even got off the ground. Education reforms in the wake of COVID-19 saw heavy investment to embed new pedagogies into teacher practices. This included in no small part the use of technologies. Education was negatively impacted by the lack of access to devices and the internet, rendering the then untested Distance Learning useless. Having learned that adopting current technologies as essential to prepare a student for their tomorrows, school boards across the globe adopted the goal of restructuring their finances to move away from traditional practices and into new pedagogies.

By 2031 with access to information and the Q.Network as cheap as a family meal at McDonald's, curriculums had to be updated for this new reality. A new addition to most curriculum was Digital Literacies - teaching students how to make the abundance of technologies and devices in their everyday lives work for them. In addition, the focus of subjects steered away from 20th century "information memorization" (useless in the age of Quantum Networking), and instead leaned into problem solving.

Tech companies started to partner with school boards to provide teachers with the necessary training and education to deliver the "Digital Literacies" curriculum, outfit students with updated technology, and run outreach programs for families to learn how to use technology effectively. New Quantum Robots ("Q-Bots") were created for students to program using Quantum programming.

When interviewed for a 2031 edition of GQ Magazine, Kutcher and Musk were asked why they haven't obtained trillionaire status. While explaining the supreme low-cost of accessing the Q.Network - or any Quantum-based network of information, and the use of cloud computing keeping hardware costs at pennies on the dollar, Kutcher let slip the latest development in the then unannounced Band 4.0. Here, Kutcher said, "when you can 3D print using plant-based degradable plastics, these things just won't cost us even a dollar to make. That savings gets passed on to the consumer, and we're not a pharmaceutical company to be gouging 7000 times the cost of manufacturing."

The Band 4.0 was officially announced the next day, at the shocking low price of $40.

Having learned their lesson during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, governments around the world acknowledged the need for every person in their respective nations to have access to the internet. In a U.N. summit in 2021, 170 nations signed an agreement to make the internet an essential service to be provided to all citizens of the globe. The tipping point for the "Data Accords" was the worldwide lack of education provided to children during the quarantine lockdown. "You can call it whatever you want, but unless every child had access to a functioning device and stable internet connection, Distance Learning could hardly be considered education," said President Mike Pence, weeks after the massive coronary suffered by the late President Doland J. Trump after learning he truly was suffering from hair loss.

Initial rollout was difficult, given the limitations of governments' infrastructure and the high costs of network expansion. But the release of Musk's Q.Network Satellites providing access points to the Q.Network, governments now only had to worry about providing its citizens with affordable Q.Network Capable Devices.

In 2031 with the release of The Band 4.0 device at the cost of $40 per unit, the world's governments only responsibility now was making sure shelves were stocked.

To promote equal access to technology, school boards had to take a multi-faceted approach; the landscape was changing so fast, that the initial future of 5G was blown past before it even got off the ground. Education reforms in the wake of COVID-19 saw heavy investment to embed new pedagogies into teacher practices. This included in no small part the use of technologies. Education was negatively impacted by the lack of access to devices and the internet, rendering the then untested Distance Learning useless. Having learned that adopting current technologies as essential to prepare a student for their tomorrows, school boards across the globe adopted the goal of restructuring their finances to move away from traditional practices and into new pedagogies.

By 2031 with access to information and the Q.Network as cheap as a family meal at McDonald's, curriculums had to be updated for this new reality. A new addition to most curriculum was Digital Literacies - teaching students how to make the abundance of technologies and devices in their everyday lives work for them. In addition, the focus of subjects steered away from 20th century "information memorization" (useless in the age of Quantum Networking), and instead leaned into problem solving.

Tech companies started to partner with school boards to provide teachers with the necessary training and education to deliver the "Digital Literacies" curriculum, outfit students with updated technology, and run outreach programs for families to learn how to use technology effectively. New Quantum Robots ("Q-Bots") were created for students to program using Quantum programming.

Quantum technology (i.e. quantum computing) is the category of scientific advancement of devices that use the superpositions of electrons to transfer information via teleportation through quantum entanglement. These technologies are smaller than predecessors, a result of processing happening via the cloud through Quantum Networks as opposed to hardware on the devices themselves, thereby eliminating the need for powerful hardware in devices.

Devices such as Wearables have expanded the market of quantum devices. These devices are significantly cheaper than "classic computers" devices that preceded them such as smartphones and laptops, as a result of the low cost involved of manufacturing the simple and "processing-less" devices and the ease of access to the Quantum Network. Wearables further expanded the market when manufacturing turned from traditional assembly to 3D printing using reusable materials such as aluminum and degradable natural plastics.

== History ==

At the precipice of private telecoms companies building their 5G infrastructure, Chinese quantum physicists discovered the ability to teleport data through the quantum entanglement of photons. The initial experiment involved teleporting data from earth to space using photons. The physicists successfully affected the photon in space by manipulating the photon on earth. This "spooky action" as Albert Einstein described it in theory a century earlier based on the principals outlined by Richard Feynman, was then extrapolated by Elon Musk after a conversation with Joe Rogan on the latter's podcast. "If they can do it with photons, imagine the possibility with electrons too; a much more light weight and abundant particle," he said in the 2024 interview. After paying his way into a discovery, Musk's team successfully recreated the Chinese experiment with an electron.

Having already built the infrastructure for cloud based quantum computing a decade prior, IBM teamed up with Musk in creating the first Quantum Network. A successor to the internet, data transfers of any size were instantaneous as a result of being "teleported" rather than transmitted. This new, faster, and cheaper network instantly outdated the still growing 5G network, where data transmission speeds were capped at 5Gb/s. Reconceptualizing his initial plan for a satellite network providing 5G to the planet, Musk and SpaceX launched Quantum Network (now branded Q.Network - "the last time I got creative with naming didn't go so well.") satellites in orbit, providing free global access to any Q.Network enabled device. This marked the first time in history when a network was launched ahead of capable devices being available on the market.

The first wave of Q.Network enabled devices came from familiar companies such as Samsung and Apple in the form of their line of smartphones. Alongside WiFi and mobile network capabilities, these generation of smartphones also had the ability to connect to the Q.Network. This quick adoption was thanks to the open patent and ease of access to the Q.Network. "As it turns out, the hard part was discovering just how to manipulate electrons in superposition, and recreating it is as easy as... Apple pie," smirked Tim Cook in a 2026 interview with Vanity Fair.

'''The Band'''
Remembering his 2018 interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and his views of humans as primitive cyborgs, Musk decided the smartphone was hindering the expansion of the Q.Network. "Right now, we're cyborgs. We have access to all this information instantaneously, but our input is primitive. We're using our thumbs on a screen. We need to think past the smartphone."

In 2027 Musk teamed up with star of That 70s Show and creator of Punk'd Ashton Kutcher, to take advantage of the star's investment in 17 private tech companies to create a new devices for the Quantum era.

The prototype for The Band premiered in a 2029 press conference hosted by Kutcher.

Here, Kutcher said, "when you can 3D print using plant-based degradable plastics, these things just won't cost us even a dollar to make. That savings gets passed on to the consumer, and we're not a pharmaceutical company to be gouging 7000 times the cost of manufacturing."

The Band 4.0 was officially announced the next day, at the shocking low price of $40.

Having learned their lesson during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, governments around the world acknowledged the need for every person in their respective nations to have access to the internet. In a U.N. summit in 2021, 170 nations signed an agreement to make the internet an essential service to be provided to all citizens of the globe. The tipping point for the "Data Accords" was the worldwide lack of education provided to children during the quarantine lockdown. "You can call it whatever you want, but unless every child had access to a functioning device and stable internet connection, Distance Learning could hardly be considered education," said President Mike Pence, weeks after the massive coronary suffered by the late President Doland J. Trump after learning he truly was suffering from hair loss.

Initial rollout was difficult, given the limitations of governments' infrastructure and the high costs of network expansion. But the release of Musk's Q.Network Satellites providing access points to the Q.Network, governments now only had to worry about providing its citizens with affordable Q.Network Capable Devices.

In 2031 with the release of The Band 4.0 device at the cost of $40 per unit, the world's governments only responsibility now was making sure shelves were stocked.

To promote equal access to technology, school boards had to take a multi-faceted approach; the landscape was changing so fast, that the initial future of 5G was blown past before it even got off the ground. Education reforms in the wake of COVID-19 saw heavy investment to embed new pedagogies into teacher practices. This included in no small part the use of technologies. Education was negatively impacted by the lack of access to devices and the internet, rendering the then untested Distance Learning useless. Having learned that adopting current technologies as essential to prepare a student for their tomorrows, school boards across the globe adopted the goal of restructuring their finances to move away from traditional practices and into new pedagogies.

By 2031 with access to information and the Q.Network as cheap as a family meal at McDonald's, curriculums had to be updated for this new reality. A new addition to most curriculum was Digital Literacies - teaching students how to make the abundance of technologies and devices in their everyday lives work for them. In addition, the focus of subjects steered away from 20th century "information memorization" (useless in the age of Quantum Networking), and instead leaned into problem solving.

Tech companies started to partner with school boards to provide teachers with the necessary training and education to deliver the "Digital Literacies" curriculum, outfit students with updated technology, and run outreach programs for families to learn how to use technology effectively. New Quantum Robots ("Q-Bots") were created for students to program using Quantum programming.

Quantum technology (i.e. quantum computing) is the category of scientific advancement of devices that use the superpositions of electrons to transfer information via teleportation through quantum entanglement. These technologies are smaller than predecessors, a result of processing happening via the cloud through Quantum Networks as opposed to hardware on the devices themselves, thereby eliminating the need for powerful hardware in devices.

Devices such as Wearables have expanded the market of quantum devices. These devices are significantly cheaper than "classic computers" devices that preceded them such as smartphones and laptops, as a result of the low cost involved of manufacturing the simple and "processing-less" devices and the ease of access to the Quantum Network. Wearables further expanded the market when manufacturing turned from traditional assembly to 3D printing using reusable materials such as aluminum and degradable natural plastics.

== History ==

At the precipice of private telecoms companies building their 5G infrastructure, Chinese quantum physicists discovered the ability to teleport data through the quantum entanglement of photons. The initial experiment involved teleporting data from earth to space using photons. The physicists successfully affected the photon in space by manipulating the photon on earth. This "spooky action" as Albert Einstein described it in theory a century earlier based on the principals outlined by Richard Feynman, was then extrapolated by Elon Musk after a conversation with Joe Rogan on the latter's podcast. "If they can do it with photons, imagine the possibility with electrons too; a much more light weight and abundant particle," he said in the 2024 interview. After paying his way into a discovery, Musk's team successfully recreated the Chinese experiment with an electron.

Having already built the infrastructure for cloud based quantum computing a decade prior, IBM teamed up with Musk in creating the first Quantum Network. A successor to the internet, data transfers of any size were instantaneous as a result of being "teleported" rather than transmitted. This new, faster, and cheaper network instantly outdated the still growing 5G network, where data transmission speeds were capped at 5Gb/s. Reconceptualizing his initial plan for a satellite network providing 5G to the planet, Musk and SpaceX launched Quantum Network (now branded Q.Network - "the last time I got creative with naming didn't go so well.") satellites in orbit, providing free global access to any Q.Network enabled device. This marked the first time in history when a network was launched ahead of capable devices being available on the market.

== Wearables ==

'''Progression'''
The first wave of Q.Network enabled devices came from familiar companies such as Samsung and Apple in the form of their line of smartphones. Alongside WiFi and mobile network capabilities, these generation of smartphones also had the ability to connect to the Q.Network. This quick adoption was thanks to the open patent and ease of access to the Q.Network. "As it turns out, the hard part was discovering just how to manipulate electrons in superposition, and recreating it is as easy as... Apple pie," smirked Tim Cook in a 2026 interview with Vanity Fair.

'''The Band'''
Remembering his 2018 interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and his views of humans as primitive cyborgs, Musk decided the smartphone was hindering the expansion of the Q.Network. "Right now, we're cyborgs. We have access to all this information instantaneously, but our input is primitive. We're using our thumbs on a screen. We need to think past the smartphone."

In 2027 Musk teamed up with star of That 70s Show and creator of Punk'd Ashton Kutcher, to take advantage of the star's investment in 17 private tech companies to create a new devices for the Quantum era.

The prototype for The Band premiered in a 2029 press conference hosted by Kutcher. "I got to play Steve Jobs once in a movie that got overshadowed by the Michael Fassbender one a year later, and now I get to be his successor." The band is a twist on what Apple had been rehashing for over a decade at the point, a device to wear on your wrist. The twist came when Kutcher unveiled the product without a screen. Instead of a screen, the band projected directed low-light lasers to the wearers eyes, creating an image akin to a Heads Up Display (HUD) that only the wearer can see. This was a particular kick to Apple, who had been developing this laser-to-eye technology for their never-released Apple Glasses product in the mid to late 2010s. "It makes you feel like a Terminator!" Kutcher famously exclaimed in the now historical press conference. Even better, the band uses solar cells embedded within the silicone of the band to store solar energy that is stored in a small battery.

== Education in a Quantum World ==

To promote equal access to technology, school boards had to take a multi-faceted approach; the landscape was changing so fast, that the initial future of 5G was blown past before it even got off the ground. Education reforms in the wake of COVID-19 saw heavy investment to embed new pedagogies into teacher practices. This included in no small part the use of technologies. Education was negatively impacted by the lack of access to devices and the internet, rendering the then untested Distance Learning useless. Having learned that adopting current technologies as essential to prepare a student for their tomorrows, school boards across the globe adopted the goal of restructuring their finances to move away from traditional practices and into new pedagogies.

By 2031 with access to information and the Q.Network as cheap as a family meal at McDonald's, curriculums had to be updated for this new reality. A new addition to most curriculum was Digital Literacies - teaching students how to make the abundance of technologies and devices in their everyday lives work for them. In addition, the focus of subjects steered away from 20th century "information memorization" (useless in the age of Quantum Networking), and instead leaned into problem solving.

Tech companies started to partner with school boards to provide teachers with the necessary training and education to deliver the "Digital Literacies" curriculum, outfit students with updated technology, and run outreach programs for families to learn how to use technology effectively. New Quantum Robots ("Q-Bots") were created for students to program using Quantum programming.

Quantum Technology

Cristina:

Quantum technology (i.e. quantum computing) is the category of scientific advancement of devices that use the superpositions of electrons to transfer information via teleportation through quantum entanglement. These technologies are smaller than predecessors, a result of processing happening via the cloud through Quantum Networks as opposed to hardware on the devices themselves, thereby eliminating the need for powerful hardware in devices.

Devices such as Wearables have expanded the market of quantum devices. These devices are significantly cheaper than "classic computers" devices that preceded them such as smartphones and laptops, as a result of the low cost involved of manufacturing the simple and "processing-less" devices and the ease of access to the Quantum Network. Wearables further expanded the market when manufacturing turned from traditional assembly to 3D printing using reusable materials such as aluminum and degradable natural plastics.

History
At the precipice of private telecoms companies building their 5G infrastructure, Chinese quantum physicists discovered the ability to teleport data through the quantum entanglement of photons. The initial experiment involved teleporting data from earth to space using photons. The physicists successfully affected the photon in space by manipulating the photon on earth. This "spooky action" as Albert Einstein described it in theory a century earlier based on the principals outlined by Richard Feynman, was then extrapolated by Elon Musk after a conversation with Joe Rogan on the latter's podcast. "If they can do it with photons, imagine the possibility with electrons too; a much more light weight and abundant particle," he said in the 2024 interview. After paying his way into a discovery, Musk's team successfully recreated the Chinese experiment with an electron.

Having already built the infrastructure for cloud based quantum computing a decade prior, IBM teamed up with Musk in creating the first Quantum Network. A successor to the internet, data transfers of any size were instantaneous as a result of being "teleported" rather than transmitted. This new, faster, and cheaper network instantly outdated the still growing 5G network, where data transmission speeds were capped at 5Gb/s. Reconceptualizing his initial plan for a satellite network providing 5G to the planet, Musk and SpaceX launched Quantum Network (now branded Q.Network - "the last time I got creative with naming didn't go so well.") satellites in orbit, providing free global access to any Q.Network enabled device. This marked the first time in history when a network was launched ahead of capable devices being available on the market.

== Wearables ==

'''Progression'''
The first wave of Q.Network enabled devices came from familiar companies such as Samsung and Apple in the form of their line of smartphones. Alongside WiFi and mobile network capabilities, these generation of smartphones also had the ability to connect to the Q.Network. This quick adoption was thanks to the open patent and ease of access to the Q.Network. "As it turns out, the hard part was discovering just how to manipulate electrons in superposition, and recreating it is as easy as... Apple pie," smirked Tim Cook in a 2026 interview with Vanity Fair.

'''The Band'''
Remembering his 2018 interview on the Joe Rogan podcast and his views of humans as primitive cyborgs, Musk decided the smartphone was hindering the expansion of the Q.Network. "Right now, we're cyborgs. We have access to all this information instantaneously, but our input is primitive. We're using our thumbs on a screen. We need to think past the smartphone."

In 2027 Musk teamed up with star of That 70s Show and creator of Punk'd Ashton Kutcher, to take advantage of the star's investment in 17 private tech companies to create a new devices for the Quantum era.

The prototype for The Band premiered in a 2029 press conference hosted by Kutcher. "I got to play Steve Jobs once in a movie that got overshadowed by the Michael Fassbender one a year later, and now I get to be his successor." The band is a twist on what Apple had been rehashing for over a decade at the point, a device to wear on your wrist. The twist came when Kutcher unveiled the product without a screen. Instead of a screen, the band projected directed low-light lasers to the wearers eyes, creating an image akin to a Heads Up Display (HUD) that only the wearer can see. This was a particular kick to Apple, who had been developing this laser-to-eye technology for their never-released Apple Glasses product in the mid to late 2010s. "It makes you feel like a Terminator!" Kutcher famously exclaimed in the now historical press conference. Even better, the band uses solar cells embedded within the silicone of the band to store solar energy that is stored in a small battery.

== The Band 4.0 ==

When interviewed for a 2031 edition of GQ Magazine, Kutcher and Musk were asked why they haven't obtained trillionaire status. While explaining the supreme low-cost of accessing the Q.Network - or any Quantum-based network of information, and the use of cloud computing keeping hardware costs at pennies on the dollar, Kutcher let slip the latest development in the then unannounced Band 4.0. Here, Kutcher said, "when you can 3D print using plant-based degradable plastics, these things just won't cost us even a dollar to make. That savings gets passed on to the consumer, and we're not a pharmaceutical company to be gouging 7000 times the cost of manufacturing."

The Band 4.0 was officially announced the next day, at the shocking low price of $40.

== An Essential Service ==

Having learned their lesson during the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, governments around the world acknowledged the need for every person in their respective nations to have access to the internet. In a U.N. summit in 2021, 170 nations signed an agreement to make the internet an essential service to be provided to all citizens of the globe. The tipping point for the "Data Accords" was the worldwide lack of education provided to children during the quarantine lockdown. "You can call it whatever you want, but unless every child had access to a functioning device and stable internet connection, Distance Learning could hardly be considered education," said President Mike Pence, weeks after the massive coronary suffered by the late President Doland J. Trump after learning he truly was suffering from hair loss.

'''Building Heterotopias''' / Rather than read about conventional ways of using wikimedia in education, we are going to look to the opportunities of speculative fiction for collaborative world-building - and for developing critical literacies (by exploring the opportunities wikimedia tools while also leveraging speculative fabulation for a re/imagining of educational 'realities' and futures, or for creating encyclopedias of an alternative world).

== '''What if…? What might the future of 'education' and 'learning' look like?''' ==

The aim of this collaborative project is to, in small groups, engage speculative (educational) theory in order to think about possible 'educational futures’ and/or the impacts of technology, ecology, and/or other events (see the concept of the Novum, the Black Swan event, or just look at Covid19).

How might we examine current trends or states-of-affairs in the world today (technology-driven, political, environmental, etc) and take a look at current states of affairs in schools, teaching/learning, pedagogy, educational policy, technology use, and media culture - and then 'extrapolate' to imagine possible impacts, future events, and future states of affairs? Why is the work of looking forward and imagining possibility and 'theorizing' important? Most importantly, how does a 'speculative' educational theory help us imagine possible futures (to cautiously avoid... or eventuate: 'inspire readers to speculate on what needs to be done in the present to arrive at an alternative future’).

What do you imagine it will feel like to learn in the future? What will ‘teaching’, ‘schooling’ or ‘learning’ look like (if current challenges and problems are not deal with, or if radical 'innovations' or technologies or pedagogies applied? For example, will we learn alone, in a community, in what contexts/roles? What will be the role of technology in learning – in relation to pedagogy? What will be the fate of (current) institutions? What are the 'ecological' or systemic relations between educational/learning worlds and events/innovations/states of affairs in the world?

----

'''In small groups (3-4 people)''', using the models/resources from class as a starting point, you will be imagining a possible future of (or alternative world) for via 'science fiction' storytelling.

Expectations: Use science/speculative fiction world-building techniques and processes of extrapolation, etc, (covered in class) to imagine some future of education and or learning.

To begin, you need to identify the larger/over-reaching problems facing education, schools and youth today – and then consider a future condition or “state of affairs” in relation to the challenges or current problems, challenges, or opportunities – be them, sociocultural, ecological, institutional (schools, politics, workplaces), pedagogical and/or technological.

'''Tip:''' Consider the conditional term: '''“What if …?”'''

'''Tip:''' Revisit concepts like ‘Extrapolation’ and the Novum -- and feel free to explore the specific critical affordances of both dystopian and utopian and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotopia_(space) heterotopian] modes of art/storytelling (to make critical points about learning, schooling, education, and technology today, through looking into the ‘mirror’ of possible futures).

'''Tip:''' You can start anywhere or with anything: with a technology (e.g., VR, Siri, 'robots', surveillance, bio-genetics, and other 'usual suspects' of our post-humanist era) - or you can start with significant pedagogical and social justice challenges (disability, inclusion, in/equity, and so n).

'''Tip''' Have fun with genre conventions like time travel or counter-factual history or things like the Novum. Consider critical literary tools that have been used throughout the history of utopian/dystopian art and literature: satire and irony.

Be sure to include contextualizing details for your world-building (Where/when is this imagined world taking place).

'''Optional Genres or Narrative Conceits:''' In constructng your alternative or future world, consider using – or mixing – genres like:

• Wikipedia ‘encyclopedic’ mode for telling your story through Wiki discourse conventions.

• A wiki museum of ‘found artefacts' (e.g., present documents like memoir/diary, maps, photos, news-clippings, text messages, social media posts, etc ‘taken’ from that alternative history/future).

• Literary Modes: Third Person or embodied First-Person narrative accounts (e.g., through ‘the eyes’ of people living in this imagined world).

• Mix up these genres – or devise variations – or figure out a new way to present your world/story.

'''Counterfactual History Option:''' A historical ‘what if’ (twisting the past) that changes our present (= we live in an alternative timeline in the present). The most famous counterfactual historical point of departure: “What if Nazi Germany won WWII”? Consider an educational counterfactual (e.g., What if Edgerton Ryerson opposed, instead of promoted, cultural genocide through residential schooling systems?)

----

'''Formal Expectations:'''

• Genre: See above. Up to you as a group to use one or more genres - or decide on how to mix up genres.

• Length: Minimum 1750-2000 words / 3000 MAX! (for a three person group). Add some images that show aspects of the world, or reflect key themes, technologies, ideas, etc.

• Truman states: SFs offer us generative practices for imagining a different future, but they must be grounded in ''''response-ability'''' for the worlds we inherit and create. Just keep this in mind as you being to speculate and do world-building.

• Ensure that your alter/future world-building either ‘extrapolates' in ways that help us thinking critically about the present and the future, cautions us to (dystopain) perils embedded in our present world/system, and/or 'invite readers to speculate on what needs to be done in the present to arrive at an alternative future' (author)

• Try to have some fun! And don't worry if it gets weird, out there, that is fine.

'''For class discussion''', at some point (last day of class, possibly), I will ask you to be able to reflect and evaluate on this project: was it valuable? What process did you go through to arrive at your 'problematic' and then create your world? What extra-course literary/film or theory resources did you use? Did/how did the project connect to any course themes (e.g., technology-pedagogy)?

• Length: Minimum 1750-2000 words / 3000 MAX! (for a three person group). Add some images that show aspects of the world, or reflect key themes, technologies, ideas, etc.

• Truman states: SFs offer us generative practices for imagining a different future, but they must be grounded in ''''response-ability'''' for the worlds we inherit and create. Just keep this in mind as you being to speculate and do world-building.

• Ensure that your alter/future world-building either ‘extrapolates' in ways that help us thinking critically about the present and the future, cautions us to (dystopain) perils embedded in our present world/system, and/or 'invite readers to speculate on what needs to be done in the present to arrive at an alternative future' (author)

• Try to have some fun! And don't worry if it gets weird, out there, that is fine.

'''For class discussion''', at some point (last day of class, possibly), I will ask you to be able to reflect and evaluate on this project: was it valuable? What process did you go through to arrive at your 'problematic' and then create your world? What extra-course literary/film or theory resources did you use? Did/how did the project connect to any course themes (e.g., technology-pedagogy)?
