Question: how would this help in the future ?

How would what help? If you mean my research, it will help because we need to understand how technology affects how children learn. There is the danger that if education does not adapt with a changing world children will get bored and start thinking they can learn more from the internet than they can by going to school. Schools have masses of potential to start using and helping develop really exciting powerful new ways of using technology to support learning. And make it fun.
