1.) The video is about how technology changes the types of jobs that we do, and how we do it. It also shows the future of the work we do. Firstly, the future of work is transparent, where nobody will just take your word for it, and tracking tools are used to measure productivity. Secondly, the future of work is flat, nobody is going to complain about their commute, and location will not matter. Thirdly, the future of work will be competitive, we will not be paid just for having a degree, because more and more people in America are getting college degrees, and jobs will go global. Fourthly, the future of work will be on demand. Fifth, the future of work will allow individuals to have more freedom and power.
2.) We feel that the European education system better prepares students for the future as it shapes students to learn independently and allows more room for creativity which is required in jobs in the future.The education system in Finland encourages independent learning by letting students learn at their own pace and in things they like. Finnish schools are allowed to develop their own curriculum to best suit their students' strengths and weaknesses instead of forcing them to study compulsory subjects, some of which they are not good in, and making students follow a strict schooling system. the Finnish school system is relaxed and allows for children to learn independently instead of having a teacher telling them what to do, with more project based independent learning. this can allow more room for creativity as the students are allowed to think differently unlike in many Asian schools where tests are standardised and teachers instruct while students learn and memorise, not allowing them to develop their creativity. Students will also not be able to learn on their own and choose not to venture out of the comfort zone. Asian students are less proactive in class, tend not to ask questions and just follow instructions.
European students like the Finnish students will do well in the jobs of the future because of their ability to think out of the box and their ability to be critical thinkers to help the company progress. In the near future employers would be looking out for people with creativity, not just a person with very good qualifications. Jobs in the future require individuals with creative mindsets and are vocal and proactive towards learning. Therefore the European education system better prepares students for the future.
