As a part time teacher, I begin the first session of each semester’s class with a You-tube.com video called Shift Happens. Like my old Economics professor who said, “we use the same exam every year, we just change the answers”, I find it always applies – and I find a new version of the video each semester.
The concepts of globalization and the exponential rate of increase in available information are changing the way we live, work and teach our children in ways that we don’t even understand yet – but we had better pick up the pace if we wish to remain competitive in real estate or whatever field may be of interest to us.
The following video is version 4. It runs about 9.5 minutes – but try to find the time. If you have not seen any of the previous versions, you will be amazed at the view of where we are going.
Enjoy.

Impressive data. I agree completely - and would note that it's not an entirely new trend, but rather an acceleration of a trend we have seen in our lifetimes.
Most of what I learned in my graduate school education was irrelevant or needed to be updated by the time I was practicing my actual career. And even the "basics" I learned in high school were for the most part not applicable to "real life." The benefits of my high school education were not what I learned, but learning how to learn.
Excellent video.
