I recently came across a post about the driverless future that will have an extensive impact on all our lives. I would encourage you to watch this six minute video.
There were a few things that stood out to me while watching this video. However, I think the most prominent point that I continue to reflect on is the far reaching impact of autonomous vehicles. These autonomous vehicles are suppose to reduce the amount of accidents each year. This in turn will decrease the amount of community helpers we will need such as law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, etc. Furthermore, we won't need as much capacity in hospitals which means fewer nurses and doctors.
This doesn't take other autonomous travel into consideration. For example, check out this article about autonomous pizza delivery. If that doesn't start to paint a picture of where we might be going, check out this video:
So far these examples have been grounded to Earth....literally. What about autonomy in the skies? Check out this article in the New York Times or watch the video below about a drone saving two swimmers in Australia.
Why?
With a rapidly changing world, we continue to rely on an antiquated system for equipping kids for the future. When you start thinking about where the economy is headed:
Why do we still teach......
Why not start teaching.....
What are your thoughts on what we should start teaching? What about what we should stop teaching? I know this will ruffle some feathers and spark some strong feelings, but why can't we start having conversations where we focus on what is best for kids and not "this is the way it has always been done".
