The document discusses the impact of disruptive enabling technologies on creative education. It notes how education and learning have changed over time, from the 1960s model of teachers transferring knowledge to students to today's virtual classrooms and MOOCs enabled by technology. Emerging technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, sensors, artificial intelligence and machine learning will further transform learning by enabling immersive and personalized experiences. However, the document argues that technology should empower and not replace humans, and that future education should focus on vocations that cannot be done by machines while cultivating human skills like active citizenship.
