5. The world we live in
Access to Everything, All the Time, FromAny Device, Anywhere
Knowledge-intensive and innovation-led
globalized world
Everyone competes with everyone, self-branding
on the rise
The less competent are replaced by those who,
in other parts of the world, can do the same for
less
The rate of change of the economy requires
creative and differentiated workforce
The ability to create value, with creativity and
competence, becomes essential for survival in the
labour market
But the uniformity of school systems produces
almost undifferentiated workforce

8. Why the modern world is
destroying your brain ?•We are doing the jobs of 10 different
people while still trying to keep up with
our lives, our children and parents,
our friends, our careers, our hobbies,
and our favorite TV shows
•When people think they’re multitasking,
they’re actually just switching from one
task to another very rapidly. And every
time they do, there’s a cognitive cost in
doing so.
•Multitasking creates a dopamine-
addiction feedback loop, effectively
rewarding the brain for losing focus and
for constantly searching for external
stimulation. To make matters worse, the
prefrontal cortex has a novelty bias,
meaning that its attention can be easily
hijacked by something new
•Glenn Wilson, former visiting professor of
psychology at Gresham College, London,
calls it info-mania
