“We can’t solve
problems by using
the same kind of
thinking we used
when we created
them” Albert Einstein

 We are currently
preparing students
for jobs that
don’t yet exist . . .

in order to solve
problems we don’t
even know are
problems yet.

By 2023, when 1º ESO students

will be just 25 years old

and beginning their
(first or second) careers . . .

6
it will only take a
€700 computer to
exceed the capabilities
of the human brain.

7
And while technical
predictions farther out
than about 15 years
are hard to make . . .

8
predictions are that
by 2050 a €700
computer will exceed
the computational
capabilities of the
human race.

9
So, what are we going to do
about it

10
Can we still use
traditional methods
to teach our
children

11
Children spend as
much as
6 hours per day
in front of screens

12
So, do we
engage them
or enrage
them?
