What awaits education? We cannot just predict the future of education and learning from plain guesses or draw non-objective conclusions. Education as we know it today had very humble beginnings. Our reservoir of knowledge in every stream was the result of our predecessors’ continuous effort to innovate and discover. Later, at least in several countries this process came to a halt, and the only meaning that the word education carried with it for a lot of people became memorizing and retaining what had been memorized. There was no need for innovations or individuality in learning. Curiosity and critical thinking were only required limitedly.
