Happy Monday na ka.
I've got a few great articles that make me wonder what can fit our kids and country ka.
This is one of the articles I'd like to share today, which is written by Betsy Miket from inc.com ka. She wrote about what Mark Cuban (Billionaire investor) thought of the most sought-after job skill. Even when people are going after computer science degree programs and learn-to-code bootcamps, he argues that they may not be as hot in 5-10 years time since the next wave of innovation would be 'the automation of automation', seeing software writing itself with much less need for humans.
This ignited my curiosity to read on to see what should be the right fields to study. It turned out that he was talking about those liberal arts majors because their creativity and critical thinking, though for these few years, they may be 'starved' ka.
He was interviewed about the world's advanced technology as well. At the moment, he's been using sensors for many purposes. It not only is able to have anonymous facial recognition but will soon have personalized sensors to tell us about our conditions and what needs to be done.
He was then looking into the far future when
- blood could reveal many more things about each individual
- personalized medicine would become real (and over-the-counter drug purchase turn 'barbaric') as there would be personalized medicine
- we turned to be 'genetically modified humans'
- progressive evolution in terms of the climate change could be decoded and we could calculate the impacts to change the dynamics and paths of the evolution.
While I still have several articles to share, I find this one very interesting and worrying in many ways ka:
- we can't escape from the advanced science and technology, no doubt about it and it's really scary kaaa!
- yet, can we live up to it? The Thailand 4.0 seems to be a driving force and the urge to promote STEM Education is loud......but the focus on the reality of our human capability and capacity doesn't seem to be so balanced?
- while encouraging STEM Education, have we forgotten to give priority to our social and human sciences?
- how could our younger generations survive in this world with fast big moves? are we on the right tracks?
- Have our universities been doing the right job for their young and older learners alike? What should be the favorable role of the Office of Higher Education Commission to enhance learning for the future, moving away from being a regulator?
I'm now getting extremely worried for our younger ones, especially those who have much less opportunity to get quality learning and to be able to challenge their capabilities with support and increased confidence. Have our universities felt threatened enough to look much further into the future, take serious thoughts and drastic actions to reform their education delivery?
