Instead of bread from far away factories, we will get locally made bread, local film processing, printing. Home town markets will grow. This is good news for the blind consumer. The future is not such a concern if a student has the right training. The student of the future must adapt to frequent change, and must be flexible.
Rigid thinkers are in trouble.
Students will look at problems from several angles and use energetic, creative approaches to problem solving. They will be self teachers. They will understand that self-motivation is critical to their survival, more so than at any other time in history. They will know how to gather, organize, analyze and rapidly react to the ebb and flow of global information as it comes online. Students of the future will be mind workers, with good communication skills.
