Accelerating Technologies: Consequences for the Future Wellbeing of Students
Saltinski, Ronald
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v17 Nov 2015
Today's students, K-12 and beyond, will face an ominous future unless educators quickly invest in preparing student perspectives for the accelerating technologies that will have global implications for the wellbeing of all humanity. Accelerating technologies are quietly, almost insidiously, transforming the world with little fanfare and certainly no "shock and awe" so fantasized in cinema. The pace of evolving technologies may prove too daunting for human acclimation to those advances. Knowing that the technological tsunami is coming is for young people a crucial consideration in how they choose to map out their futures.
