Wow!! After watching the Shift happens video online and listening to the podcast it does certainly prove that shift happens. The fact that we are preparing children for jobs that do not yet exist is quit alarming but at the same time now that we know this we can try to start them early in better schools and better prepare them for the future. It is important to remember that we can not learn less, we can only learn more. The future of America is also very alarming. What will happen if or when all the jobs we as Americans do get shipped to China or other places where they are smarter or charge less money? Our nation will be in a worse state than it is now, can it get any worse? I found it interesting that many of today's college majors didn't even exist ten years ago and that the number of college graduates in 2006 in America was significantly lower than the number in China and India. The video proves that shift does happen but also proves that America and its people need to get on the ball. It will be like playing catch up but will we even be able to?
Its good to know all of these things so that we can analyze and better prepare ourselves and our children for the very competitive world and our hustle and bustle society. The education starts at home and is reiterated at home as well.
