Fourth Industrial Revolution

Fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres

In Education

  • Creativity will be a top three skill needed by workers
    • negotiation and flexibility
       
  • There is now no defined state of "educated"
    • Students must develop learning agility to adapt
       
  • Educational systems must learn to adapt to evolving job markets and content delivery systems

 

The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Education System, how to respond?

At the Libraries?

  • Become more efficient in content exposure/delivery
     
  • Provide resources to create content, not just harbor it
     
  • Adoption of emerging tech
    • AR, VR, AI, IoT, 3D Printing, Blockchain 2.0, Robotics, Synthetic Biology
       
  • Promotion of humanities
     
  • Intro' and extro' sepection
     
  • Continuous education of Libraries
