Unfortunate Future Norms

While watching "The Future of Work," I noticed a couple of things that were very interesting to me. 

Well for starters, I want to teach in Africa so technology is not my main concern because their students need food not computers. 

These students are lucky to have benches to sit on and supplies to learn.

The video said that, "Work used to be considered a place." I feel saddened by this. I don't know about you, but I want my job to be my passion. Work should be more than a place regardless of technology. 

We are so concerned with our newest technology and Skype calls, but maybe we should put money or more focus towards serious problems around the world whether that be world hunger, human trafficking, national debt, lack of clean water, or homelessness. 

The video also says, "There is no longer a reason not to know." This frustrates me because in America we have a ridiculous amount of opportunities and technology, but there are people who do not have the opportunities or access that we have. 

Teaching will always be needed. In order for someone to become a professional at something, they need to be taught. The way people learn and even the way teachers teach may change, but teaching in and of itself will always be necessary. 

I think by being privileged enough to have an education allows me to see the importance of an education. Everyone deserves an education. The freedom to learn and grow intellectually in order to have independence and support oneself and their family is crucial.
