One of my favorite authors is Seth Godin. His content and style is all about motivation, about innovation, about challenging the status quo. Among his books that I have read, Tribe, and Linchpin. You can check out his website HERE. His most recent free e-book I read is Stop Stealing Dreams. You can download it free HERE. Here are a couple lines from this book, which is all about education, its purpose and effectiveness in a world that has changed:
In the pre-connected world, information was scarce, and hoarding it was smart. Information needed to be processed in isolation, by individuals. After school, you were on your own.
In the connected world, all of that scarcity is replaced by abundance—an abundance of information, networks, and interactions.
All of this is extremely interesting to me, particularly as it relates to the education of my kids, specifically, my oldest, Daniel. What, really, will best prepare him for life in the future? A life connected with his Creator and Redeemer, certainly. And a life that is able to excel in a radically changed world.
I’m also interested in what Godin terms “the end of paper.” I am in the process of (finally) writing a book. How does the technical revolution impact writing and publishing?
Well, enough rebel-rousing for one day!!
