-"fully 65 percent of today's grade-school kids may end up doing work that hasn't been invented yet." Virginia Heffernan
Response
- This quote was shocking to me to say the least. Kids today are being educated and most likely will be in a job field that isn't even invented yet and the craziest part about it is that it is 65 percent of the children. This just amazes me that how fast our technology is moving. The world is moving faster and faster every year in technology. It makes me think that I will be teaching these students that will eventually have jobs that don't even exist yet. With all this technology it makes me think, are we going to fast? What's wrong with our present technology, I mean I'm perfectly content with all the technology that we have now.
Video
- This is a video showing how fast technology is moving and shows futuristic technologies that are already invented. Students today will find new ways to improve our technologies and make new ones as well.
