That's not the problem, that's the solution.
Education today has to be about learning how to learn - a lifelong process of learning new ways of doing things. The way we do things today will be significantly different in ten years and barely recognizable in 50 years.
CAT tools will still be around in 2067, in the basic sense of the term "Computer Aided Translation". They will be doing a lot of different things than they do today. Undoubtedly artificial intelligence will play a major part.
To get the perspective, just look at the difference between CAT tools in 1967 and today. They did exist then, but only as an academic oddity in a handful of high-tech research centres.
So it's not really a question of what CAT tools will be like in 50 years but whether those who use them will have been able to keep up with their changes. [/quote]
I'm curious: where can I see a chart comparing those differences with CAT tools circa 1967?
