One of my favorite lecturer is Juan Enriquez, he is a futurist. I have followed him very closely and I have been enlightened by his theories and ideas.
Please watch this TED talk in which Juan talks about the future of the human species. It sounds very science fiction but in reality looking back 1000 years ago - the current time we live in looks like science fiction to them.
My question are: Do you think that Juan is on to something? I have only been teaching for 14 years. When I first starting teaching only a few students out of hundreds had a cellular device and it was meant for talking. Eventually the phone has evolved with successive generations of phones today with is a small computer. Today we are on the door step of the Iphone X and Samsung Notes 8. I have seen students behaviors changed because of these devices. Your classes of 2018 & 2019 will be know as the seventh generation today. Have you seen any change? How do you see your future changing due to science and technology? Will your children and grandchildren be a different species? Very thought provoking ideas. Please share your comments. Please elaborate your ideas. You have till Sunday night at 11:59 pm
