A Grade 11 Student's perspective!

Based on watching the video "Did You Know - 2012", a young man in my class wrote the following. Very insightful on the future.

Out of the three things im curious about in the "Did You Know" video were, one, if half of what we learn in our study during university have no relevance to us and outdated, do you just learn these things for the time being? And after we finish the course we've taken where will we gain the knowledge when its not being taught to us? Second, In 2013 how are they going to build a super computer that exceeds the computational capabilities of the human brain, if we dont even know the limits of our own brain? and the study of the brain still exists to this day. Third, if we live in "exponential times", how much does the education system have to change in order to make the new generation prepared for amount for the drastic changes in society and technology? Overall though, the video was interesting because of all the new number changes and differences in the world now and the world in the 20th and 18th century as far back as shakespearian times. I hope your weekend went well as well sir.
