Changing what you see


If you change the way you see the world, then you change the things you see.

It's a pretty incredible world that is available now.  Many can't see what is being offered.  That's more than a shame.  Google Glasses are old news.  The next generation of computing is now seamless with the real world.  It will change the things a person sees - guaranteed.  I plan for my granddaughter to be educated only in places that offer what is available now so that her future is not on the streets regretting what other children with parents of foresight provided for them.

Those in the field of education should demand to lead, to take this technology to the children and young adults who will take the seamless world of reality and irrealis to a whole quantum height above the world now.

The norm has been for education to lag about 10-15 years behind what technology has offered.  It was fortunate that most people were in the same boat.  But this time is different.  Education will not be turning out what the business world has to have and has to offer if it lags behind.  And that will make education irrelevant.  It almost is already. The work force has dwindled.  Fewer people are working full time hours.  College graduates aren't working in their career fields.  It is up to educational leaders, especially those who are experts in their field, to totally ignore the voices that tell them that schools are okay, change is gradual, schools will change with the times or that the school is already on the leading edge.  It's different this time.

The educational application is shown in the video below from 11:15-14:15.  It's simply astounding.  Those who possess the skills of this kind of learning will indeed lead, change, affect, and innovate for all others on the Earth.


Five years in virtual time is the same as 25 years of real time.  Schools will be divided in 5 years.  The ones who prepared will lead.  The ones who plodded will exist no more.
