Consider how many of us have access to more information than we could ever hope to read, right at our fingertips. The future is not in how much you know, the old school method of learning facts and figures is behind us, the future is about how you use that information.
Learning HTML and CSS doesn’t mean you’ll create beautiful websites. Mastering WordPress doesn’t make you a good writer. Music theory doesn’t make a great composer.
Dan Pink talks about how important having a sense of empathy will be, along with the ability to recognize beauty, and being able to find meaning from inherently neutral objects and ideas. These are things only we can do, as yet no machine or program has accurately managed to do these tasks.
