I really enjoyed watching this video that I actually watched it 3 times. I was amazed by all of this information.
Technology has really become a world for the entire world. The Internet, for example, has become a place where anything is possible and accessible: reading worldly news, watching movies, meeting new people, ordering food from the grocery store, buying airplane tickets, attending classes... and it's moving so fast that we need to keep ourselves updated with New Technology to anticipate for the future.
There is so much more openness and transparency than ever before. "Today's learner will have 10 to 14 jobs by the age of 38". That is something that was not well viewed a couple of years back. Tenure was important. However, with the continuous change of New Technology and people exploring new interests the world is becoming more diverse and people have more freedom to discover what they like and what they really want to do.
It's also interesting to think that we are the ones who created computers and in a couple of years from now "computers will be exceeding computational capabilities of the entire human species". Interesting and somewhat disturbing...
