While I feel this article creates alarm without setting out a clear path forward, it does make some valid points. I was born in the 1960s and educated in the 1980s, and I do a job that didn’t exist in either of those decades. In my early 50s, I find myself needing to learn new skills, remain calm in the midst of constant change, hold uncertainty lightly, and define who I am again.

How much more will a child born today, or being educated now, need those skills and abilities? And how badly is today’s education system preparing them for the world of 2050? (No disrespect to teachers, who do an almost impossible job, often with great dedication and inadequate resources; it’s the system that is poorly designed.)

The future is not only stranger than we imagine, it’s stranger than we can imagine.
