The pace of change in the world is faster than ever today. Familiar social situations, tasks, and devices may be completely different in a very short period of time. In the past, people connected over long distances through phone calls or letters, but now those means of communication are secondary at best. How can people adapt to such rapid change? What types of educational experiences will people need in a changing world? What are some examples of things that have changed suddenly in your own life?

How can people adapt to such rapid change?

For people to adapt well to rapid social change, they need first to be aware that fast-paced social change is the current reality of the world, and this will not change in the near future. Second, they must try their best to adapt to new trends, without discarding what they have learnt from the past.

What types of educational experiences will people need in a changing world?

Continuing education is the educational experience that is needed, especially in terms of education that builds job skills. This is because all aspects of society are changing fast, including the workplace. Many jobs are automated, or require an ever increasing range of skills, and for people to find and keep employment, they must refine and update their job skills all the time.

What are some examples of things that have changed suddenly in your own life?

The internet, and the patterns of internet use have changed quite fast. During the 2000s, the internet was spreading very fast, but its use was not as commonplace as today. Besides, social media was incipient, while internet forums were more popular.

Nowadays, the internet has become widespread among a wider range of people, including either very young (kids) or very old people. Social media has also become ubiquitous, centralizing internet use in a few platforms. Finally, old school internet forums are waning fast (they are being replaced by social media, precisely).
