We are living in an info-tech world, thanks to internet revolution. This world is altogether different from its predecessors in almost every aspect. If, in the past, there was a paucity of information and someone having an ample information, like a teacher in any society, was considered a demigod, today there is an abundance of information and the smartness lies in not knowing a lot of information but in figuring out which piece of information is right and which is wrong. This has completely changed the role of educational institutions in today's world where the need is not to share information with students like what used to be in the past rather focus is on building skills of the students in the likes of critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity so that they can make a sense of the world changing around them day in day out.
Similarly, info-tech revolution coming in the wake of internet has monumentally impacted job market in today's world. Today, more and more job industries are becoming obsolete because of not catching up to zeitgeist of the present age which is technology. Take an example of Uber and Careem in Pakistan. The two have completely outclassed the local transportation means through mere use of technology. It's expected that, in near future, most of the current jobs will be performed by machines and current generation of school children will have jobs in future which the world does not know about yet. The only lifeline for industries to survive in this info-tech world is to align themselves with technology.
