Thank you for joining me on this conversation about how we as parents can make the future more welcoming and help our children position themselves for success.
Why does this matter? Why does this matter more now? I am sure that, especially after COVID you have noticed how the future of work is going to be substantially different from the way it was in the past 20 to 50 years.
We grew up in a time of the industrial era. Our education system was designed to help us figure out how:
- to listen carefully
- to do things the same way
- to repeat the process with as little error as possible.
But the industrial era has now been replaced. We are now moving into the, into the world of the knowledge.
With the beginning of the internet, we now are in the world of the knowledge worker.
The industrial era rewarded those who remembered facts and numbers.
Those skills have been replaced with the computer, search engines, and algorithms.
That new skill that we now have to give our children the ability to find the information, to curate the information and evaluate its place amid the rest of the information.
