Nine Tomorrows: Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?
... being educated by computer programs designed to
educate effortlessly a person. According to the Profession story people
would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People
would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match
