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.
