What will the world look like –
10, 15, and 20 years?
“My prediction is that we are going to ingest information—we’re going to swallow a pill and know English and swallow a pill and know Shakespeare. It will go through the bloodstream and it will know when it’s in the brain and, in the right places, it deposits the information.”
Nicholas Negroponte, MIT Media Lab
Obsolete by 2025
Getting lost will take real creativityBalding and greying will be a thing of the pastPlastic will be replaced by biopolymers made from cornstarchEnd to coronary bypass surgeryEnd to daily shots for diabetics Junk mail will no longer show upWires on headphonesSignatures will be obsoleteCDs, DVDs, VCRs, and cassette tapesNo more blackboards, desks, lockers, textbooks, report cards
The future is coming faster than we think…Some futuristic
predictions… We will have personalized medicine Japan will build a robotic moon base Commercial Space will take us to the Moon and
asteroids and we'll be mining them China will connect Beijing to London via high
speed rail Biofuels will be cost competitive with fossil fuels Universal translation will be commonplace in mobile
devices We'll create a synthetic brain that functions like the
real deal We'll see some decent Augmented Reality glasses
But, we are preparing for
careers that don’t yet exist
We are preparing for technologies that have not
been invented…
The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2010 did not even exist
in 2004 65 percent of today’s grade school kids will end up at jobs that haven’t even been invented yet
Google knows everything..
Today almost all information can be sourced from the internet. All we need to do is ask the right questions on GOOGLE!
2,000 new websites every hour
300 hours of video is being uploaded every minute
3.5 billion Google searches a day
In a minute…
Knowing WHAT is not
enough. Knowing what to do with
what you know is critical!
What are the essential skills for
success?
Creativity and innovation
Critical thinking and logical reasoning
Communication and Comprehension
Collaboration and leadership
Citizenship and social responsibility
21st Century Skills* Ways of thinking, living and
working
*21st Century Skills project was created by Cisco, Intel and Microsoft; launched at the Learning and Technology World Forum in 2009
We create awareness on the importance of
knowing these skills in all educational institutions by tie ups with Non profit organizations.
