I don't have kids. I currently don't want kids, and one of the main reasons for that is my belief, that the coming machine revolution, which is happening now, will turn the whole world upside down.
The last world changing event on this scale was the industrial revolution. These changes were slow moving in a world without flight, electronic communication, and no global infastructure, but they eventually lead to everything that shapes our world today. In political/economic philosophy from capitalism to communism, it was the catalyst for the entropy that lead to WWI, and hence WWII.
Every bit of horror, and progress of the last 200 years was shaped by the industrial revolution.
We are living right now, in the first waves of the machine revolution. This revolution will move rapidly. It will spawn new political and economic ideology. Power will shift. Those that adapt will thrive, those that dont will pay the price. This will likely lead to war.
Here is my question. If you have young children, what skills are you teaching them to be ready for a brave new world?
Computer coding?
Survival skills?
Is this something the average parent knows, or thinks about?
