If it ain't broke don't fix it. Piled up next to my laptop is a Netter's Atlas, Greys and the Color Anatomy Atlas. Maybe I'm old fashioned.

If they think they can get away with it, they'll try to any hard science with computer programs and simulations.

Like the old song, "Ain't nothing like the real thing baby".

There is one thing "high tech" can't accomplish..."hands on experience."

When I was in the Air Force, I attended electronics school and then advanced to radar and bombing school for F-100 aircraft. Everything was simulated in the classroom. No actual aircraft present.

I graduated at the top of my class. Boy, was I smart. At least I thought so until I was shipped to Lakenheath, England and walked up to my first ACTUAL F-100 aircraft to work on it. I then realized that all of the education I acquired did not teach me how to open the canopy or hook up the power unit. It took me about 10 minutes to swallow my pride and find a crew chief to show me how to do it.

Moral of the story...classroom teaches the theory, "Hands on" experience actually teaches you HOW to do it.
