This post and ensuing comments make me reflect on one thing in particular : OMG, what are schools doing in the meantime? For a 'typical' school and 'typical' teacher (i.e. that are still very much in line with the horse buggy-era portrayed on the Nine Shift book cover), unfortunately, all of this is science fiction to them. If schools are ostriches to these changing times, will they contribute in the rise of those Black Swans? These comments might seem a bit simplistic but we must continue working hard in shaking the school foundation in order to bring it into the 21st century... in the name of human survival, maybe...
