Socrative, Socrates, & the Rise of the Machines

There is an online service called Socrative, which I believe is a play on Socrates, and if it is, it doesn't do the name justice.

Socrative is a "smart student response system that empowers teachers by engaging their classrooms with a series of education exercises and games" according to their website. I couldn't have said it better myself, except I would add 'confusing' to the list of adjectives in that sentence.

While Socrative allows you, the teacher, to make quizzes and give them to students, it does so in a rather confusing manner. Maybe I'm just useless when it comes to this sort of thing, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to send this quiz out to people for them to take.

By the time I did, I'd wasted so much time it was a useless endeavor.

Long story short, I hope a vast majority of the population is smarter than I am, because when the Rise of the Machines happens, I will be utterly useless.
