Education offers tools to help manage complexity -- abstract mathematics and lab sciences help us understand the complex world around us.
But that has mostly been used to manage complexity that already existed (e.g. physics, biology), or that is somehow inherent to our world (e.g. complexity resulting from social interactions among humans).
Now, we are creating our own, new kinds of complexity that didn't exist before. Software isn't there to help us manage complexity, it is adding to the complexity of our world, and dramatically so. That moves education backwards.
