Tools are an essential support in any human activity. As
the technology advances, we are able to design more advanced
tools that help us in doing the activities more efficiently. Recently,
we have seen breakthroughs in the two main components of tools,
namely the interface and the computing engine behind. Natural
interfaces allow us to communicate with tools in a way better
adapted for humans. In relation to the engine, we are shifting from
a computing paradigm to another one based on artificial
intelligence, which learns as it is used. In this paper, we examine
how these technological advances have an impact on education,
leading to smart learning environments.
