excellent the world has changed
very much during the last 100
years more
100 years ago, barely 20 percent
of the world’s population could read and
to write
today almost 96 percent in costa rica
we can have such essential stability
Imagine that 100 years ago
we were two billion people in
the world
today we are almost 8,000 million
what was the biggest innovation
1917 the electric switch is
all right
one hundred years later and we achieved
identify the system at only 40 years
light away that could harbor
habitable planets converting us
well in a few years in a kind of
multi planetary that the eye does not in just
a hundred years many things have
changed and others have not necessarily
followed that same rhythm
today they have been listening a lot
about the future and this talk is not going to
be the exception
however I want that for a short
accompany me to a trip to
passed in the past more than 100
years but that is person wanted
learn about any topic
I had to come to a big room like that
like these and together with hundreds of other
people of different ages and with
different experiences listen to another
person speak in front of the person at
front was the one that had all the
knowledge and while he counted that
history
all the people around him
they listened did not really know what
they were also catching and that’s why
after
we evolved to segment by groups that
segmentation is then done by
ages
everyone had to advance to the same
time there was no possibility that
nobody will be left behind and nobody will be
sing this allowed for the first time
that many people could have
access to education
this was based on a model of
industrial revolution and this was what
caused that costa rica we have one of
the best educational systems in the
River
many people then decided to
that education and will have a
duration of twelve years and that in the end
is to end these 12 years we said
observe a piece of paper
that paperwork step to say they were
prepared for life
some maybe they stayed a little bit
lagging behind but those that will succeed
I was going to be able to have any job that
they will need any employment in the
future
how crazy does not sound a little familiar
this model was really quite
revolutionary was very futuristic does
a hundred years
however it is not so futuristic anymore
we live on this same planet or with
those societies and circumstances
now we live in a world where the
university degrees may not be
the only ones that we need and where the
skills that we are developing
maybe they will be obsolete
we are living in a world where
we need to invent the works of
future
the last time this happened was
just 100 years
We already know that seven out of ten children
they started school this year for
end up working in jobs that do not
exist but what are those jobs
are going to do in the science areas
mathematics engineering architecture
but also in education in caring in
design and on the other hand the works that
be
On the other hand, jobs that are
transactional and production
let’s see the corpses shrinking
plus 30% of the skills today
we need for our jobs are going to
change dramatically in five years
just imagine
30% of the things that you
they need for their employment today they are going to be
different
but what you see is the future actually
it’s a future that I’ve already had
stolen cars in the streets that are handled
alone without the need of a driver
this could help us a lot in the
problems of traffic congestion or
the traffic accidents true but
also what is going to happen with all the
people who today work in transportation
taxi drivers bus drivers
On the other hand we have toys that
can help us in our process
education and learning
just and the afternoon we saw some examples
this is a dinosaur that through
artificial intelligence can help
children to review subject to learn
new languages literally learn
Playing
and what if we could teach him a
machine to answer all the questions
that we have about the subject
if you enter the tedax page
pure life today can talk to
artificial intelligence through the
cognitive assistant as you see the
agriculture in the future
drones and vertical farms sounds very
futuristic
however this is already
solving space problems
that we have in the cities and a
decreasing population of
Farmers and clearly burglaries
the factories that while increasing the
productivity and reduce the risks of
work but they are also allowing
that a lot of people that up
now they are working manifa cultura
can dedicate themselves and have new
skills for new jobs their
same are exactly those new
jobs
it’s not really something that is a
secret well Kate talks about six
different areas where if he
I could start working right now if
it was not already a billionaire by
supposed
these are artificial intelligence the
robotic biotechnology manufacturing
digital energy and experiences
virtual what all that means
basically imagine yourself in power
become a geneticist who can
reprogram the cells to heal and
fight diseases and why not be
a creator a micro that can print
in 3d organs and body parts for
transplants to humans
saving millions of lives
design virtual experiences that I
can help in my processes of
education or maybe even for
treatment of diseases
uniting people who are in places
totally opposite on the planet
work in solar farms on earth
or in space because no and work from
literally hand with technology
this is the future and what came
are the skills we need to
prepare for this future that already
I carry are skills that can
serve us for any job and go
beyond the obvious technological
and to countries like finland china myanmar
even Argentina are taking the
front in an educational revolution
it’s not about doing a review of
our educational model and speed up
to get to 2017
we have to be thinking about how
we arrived at 2.117 with these new
educational proposals are eight
skills that we come to present
today tell stories
the power to put in front of two thousand
people and talk and communicate and be able
transmit quality ideas
imagine what it would be that everyone in
power we can be giving a talk
tdx it’s not easy to search
passions find vocation
and I hope to fail trying to try
everything we have to try to
so we can genuinely become
passionate leaders in the future
the leaders have to be passionate
for what he does experiment and learn
of the scientific method create prototypes
arm and disarm things with your hands and
again
learn to fail because if we block
in failure in the educational process
we are killing the innovation if it
kill the innovation that happens there is no
creativity and a country without capacity
creative can not progress to be
empathic or power is put in the
other people’s shoes
the world will increasingly have less
barriers and we can use the
technology to be able to approach the
reality is totally opposed to the
our
a child can think of the world in the
who wants to live and then goes and
he invented a game true
around that same thing is what
makes an entrepreneur an entrepreneur has
a vision sees an opportunity and then
goes to the take advantage of it and does something to
respect and finally the technologies
if we need to learn about
computation robotic programming
all those things that we’ve been
speaking today
however, seeing is ready for
The latter is one of the easiest
of developing true are eight
skills that will serve us for the
future
I want each one of you
select only one of these eight
skills and let’s think how
It would be difficult if we have been
developed during the next months
maybe they want to learn to count
wonderful stories or will you try that
the hobby that they left forgotten makes
about ten years maybe create something in the
house prototype tweeting hand
create something with your children or relatives or
try to that project that always
they have been afraid to fail because they do not
motivate a little to be creative and do
something totally different from what
they always do or learn about
that culture that called them
so much attention with that project
that they have been neglecting because they
It’s very scary to let go of this one or
learn simply about
exponential technologies what is that
only skill that during
next months they will want to develop
in the next 30 years
unesco says that they will weigh more
people with the classrooms and by the
schools of what has happened throughout
the history of mankind
however they will be graduating
careers that maybe they will stop
exist with skills that are going to
be short
a hundred years ago things looked very
different
how are they going to see in the next 100
years and ladies and gentlemen leaders of
education in Latin America is
our turn
I hope they tell us that
we were also futurists
when they spoke or when they will speak in
five years after meat
of us depends thank you
