ScarcityAbundance

As educational content becomes abundant, “experience” is the new scarcity

@gleonhard

Mobile devices have already become our external brains Next: new ‘extensions of man’ that change us

“Search engines won’t wait for you to ask for information. They will know you like a friend, aware of

your concerns and interests at a detailed level” Ray Kurzweil

@gleonhard

The stuff of science fiction…no longer

@gleonhard

The coming ‘Global Brain’ is a huge opportunity for universities

GLOBAL PARADIGM SHIFT

Equal access to digital resources will become a human right

Interdependence is inevitableBusiness

Technology Politics Culture Europe

EDUCATION

Information Tsunami

Overload Everywhere

Learning: from copy & paste & memorize and downloads to flows, from ownership to access

The rise of ‘OTT’ education and learning platforms will dramatically accelerate hyper-fragmentation, resulting in ‘masses of niches’ and ‘niche-hits’, hyper-globalization - and very fast-changing windows of monetisation

THE FUTURE ISN’T ‘EITHER/OR’

It’s not an ‘either/or’ world - it’s an ‘and’ world

Knowledge is not merely about information, data, facts and numbers....

‘Learn’ wisdom...?

BUT IS THIS THE ‘LEARNING’ WE NEED?

The appeal of ‘amazing free stuff’ paid largely with attention & personal data is mostly (but not entirely) temporary:
