So what's changed? Technology has
gotten unimaginably smaller and better —
just look at the differences between an iMac in 2000 and an iPhone in 2010.

What is Technology? Paul Zane Pilzer defines technology as a better method of doing
something you already do more efficiently.
We tend to think of technology as a new computer, a new semiconductor, something we don't
understand.
![Page 11: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is Technology? If you drive to work and
it takes you 30 minutes, and there's a better way of getting
there in 25 minutes, that's better technology. In the twentieth and the current
century, the personal computer and the Internet
have been the greatest drivers to progress and economy -

The Computer
“The Computer is the only product since the beginning of time that the maker or designer cannot determine or limit what it can be
used for.” Dr. Tunde ADEGBOLA
![Page 13: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Future of the Computer & The Internet
“One hundred years ago, people were faced with the choice of learning
to read or remaining illiterate laborers who
would be left behind as have-nots in a rapidly modernizing world.
Yishan Wong
![Page 14: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Future of the Computer & The Internet
In the coming century, being able to command a
world that will be thoroughly
computerized will set apart those who can live
successfully in the future from those who will be utterly left
behind.“
Yishan Wong
![Page 15: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Some Facts
"Even with the *105million penetration of mobile phones with *less than 10%
Smartphone and even less than 1% of our population can utilize these technologies,
neither do we have local apps relevant and beneficial to this population "
*National Bureau of Statistics

In Conclusion
Technology changes so fast
that what used to change in 60 years now changes in 6
years.
Paul Zane Pilzer

In Conclusion
So what we see is the speed with which technology changes has accelerated
so fast that technology defines our resources, defines our wealth and determines how wealthy we would
be.Paul Zane Pilzer

Why?"The recession of 2008
wiped out the credit and asset bubbles that had been fueling over-
consumption and overproduction around
the world". Ken Robinson
•
![Page 20: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why?
"As the recession blew like a hurricane through
the old industrialized economies it left a trail of failed businesses, oceans of debt and
deep pools of structural Unemployment".
Ken Robinson
•
![Page 21: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why?
Among the worst affected are young people. As I write this, global levels of unemployment among young people, aged from 15 to 24, are the
highest on record. Ken Robinson
![Page 22: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Unemployment
“Unemployment, while it is painful for the workers who are temporarily displaced, is
a necessary and positive sign that the economy is growing".
Paul Zane Pilzer
![Page 23: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What about Unemployment?
"In essence, we are disengaging the work
force from less productive businesses
to be retrained for work in newer and more productive
ones".
Paul Zane Pilzer
![Page 24: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Today's Unemployment is a Sign of Things to Come
“At the same time, this will be a period of
highly selective prosperity; that is, only
certain people, industries and economies will
prosper".
Paul Zane Pilzer
![Page 25: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Today's Unemployment is a Sign of Things to Come
This is because the rate of change has become so fast, only those who are quickest to adapt to new technologies and the new
markets they represent will be in a position to take advantage of this
growth”.
Paul Zane Pilzer
![Page 26: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Consider this...
About ten years ago there were no social networks.
Ten years before that we didn't have the Web.
![Page 27: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Consider this...
If you work in the web programming, online marketing, or mobile phone
industries…
… your job did not exist twenty years ago.
![Page 28: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Consider this...
Who knows what jobs will exist twenty years from now? The people out of work today will soon find jobs again.
But the work won't be the same.
![Page 29: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
One Opportunity
“At a time when people are saying "I want a good job - I got out of college and I couldn't find one," every single year in
America there is a standing demand for 120,000 people who are training in
computer science”.President Bill Clinton

Language & Literacy: The last 6 inches of the divide
“Over the past few years, the Internet has rapidly become part of the daily lives of most people in the first world. This
trend in easy access to unlimited information
resources for first world users mirrors the growing 'central-
peripheral divide' in the developing world”:
Andie Miller
![Page 32: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Language & Literacy: The last 6 inches of the divide
“The concentration of wealth in the major urban centers and the increasing marginalization
of people in the peri-urban and rural areas. The result of both
trends is that the majority of the world's population, particularly on the African continent, has
limited access to most information resources”.
Andie Miller
![Page 33: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Truth is...
"The future's already happened, it's just
unequally distributed."
a quote by science fiction writer William Gibson.
![Page 34: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Truth is...
I don't think Gibson, who coined the term "cyberspace"
in his 1984 novel Neuromancer - a book which
he wrote on a manual typewriter - ever dreamt what
this word would come to mean in contemporary society, and just how
everyday its usage would become in less than 20
years”.
![Page 35: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The Truth is...
“Sadly it remains every day, however, only to a
'select' few. A small minority of people on the planet, who have
access to the technology, and the skill
to use it, come to be known as the "digerati".
![Page 36: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Truth is...
“The Computer needs to speak our language and vice
versa. Until technology is applicable in our local
language and appropriate applications that allow our huge population to benefit
from it we would continue to look at technology as foreign and reserved for a selected
few”.Dr Adegbola
![Page 37: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Bridging the divide
" if technology is shaping the ways that we practice literacy in today's world, it is
certainly also the case that literacy is acting as a gatekeeper for accessing
and using technology"
M Warschauer
![Page 38: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Bridging the divide"The real threat of a digital divide in
the US and the world is not that some people will have computers and some won't, but that they will be enabled to use them in entirely different ways, with one group able to muster a wide range of semiotic tools and resources to persuade,
argue, analyze, critique and interpret, and another group, lacking these semiotics skills,
limited to pre-packaged choices".
(Castells, 1996/2000; Warschauer, 1999).

InformationToday, real life means mobile. We consume more media on smartphones than computers
and tablets combined. We spend 82 percent of our mobile
media time in apps, and Facebook accounts for 23
percent of that in-app time. In short: apps are the mobile web, and Facebook is the most used
app in the world

InformationBetween conversion pixels and
database partnerships, companies can begin to track
the purchases made online and offline by people who saw or
engaged with their native ads.
This gives incredible access to information and data today we never had available in history
before now.

Data
"Errors using inadequate data are much less than those using
no data at all.”
Charles Babbage

Making Sense of Data and InformationAt the heart of any
management system you need good decisions and
good information. In his book on Leadership, Rudy Guiliani,
ex-mayor of NewYork tells how timely access to
accurate information helped improve decision making in New York City’s fight against
crime.

Making Sense of Data and InformationNew media (particularly
electronic media) have made it possible to communicate
information faster and more directly and through many more channels. From e-mail to pagers and mobile phones, PDA’s, wikis
and Intranets, the options to present information through
different channels and formats is now immense.

Making Sense of Data and Information
With the explosion of electronic information,
information has become more readily available and far
exceeds that which most organization or its people can handle. Instead of information being pushed to the users, the new rule is to expect the users
to pull information from the system when they need it

Making Sense of Data and InformationWhy are some people better than
others at problem solving and decision making? One important characteristic that differentiates effective decision makers is their ability to think critically. Managers
who are critical thinkers use information , both qualitative and quantitative, to help arrive at and to present the most reasonable and justifiable position that is
possible.

"And yet those of us who work in education have the responsibility to enable the students for whom we're responsible to live lives with

grapple with it".

In today‘s highly competitive global knowledge economy, all students need new skills

We are “Certified but not Educated”
We are “Certified but not Educated” It is the attitude of chasing after certificates and not an education that has become
the bane of our society. The problem in the society today is that skill is yet to be developed in people. We are yet to come to a place where we truly use
our education to create wealth”.

Skate to where the puck is going to beMake sure your company is not simply chasing where other companies in your industry have been. The
true ability of a successful company is to skate to where the industry is going
to be. Jeffrey Monaghan

What Is Coding?
The word coding is a slang term for computer programming, used because programming
basically means writing source code.

What Is Coding?
These actions are understood by the computer in what is known as binary code, that lovely series of
ones and zeros loved by Hollywood futuristic films

Critical
“We consider it critical that students be able to read and write and understand
math, biology, chemistry and physics. To be a well-educated citizen in today’s
computing-intensive world, students must have a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of computing as well.“
Chris Stephenson
![Page 73: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Critical“Whether our children want to
become farmers, doctors, teachers, or entrepreneurs, it’ll be
easier for them to achieve their dreams in the digital age if they
have some background in computer science. We need our
children to learn 21st century skills for a 21st century world, and
coding teaches them the creativity and problem-solving skills that are
necessary for success.“

Consider This
“I think everybody in this country should learn how to
program a computer because it teaches you how to think.”
Steve Jobs

How?
1. We believe and think every individual, parent, kids; youth should be encouraged to start to learn to Code no matter what
they want to do or are already doing in life.
This will teach them to think and solve problems.

How?
2.Campaign for, encourage and assist schools and parents
to introduce coding and computer programing into their
curriculum.

Do you know?
“The most popular class at Harvard today is Intro to Computer Programming, because computers are helping
in almost every other field of study and research - to search for a cure for cancer, to understand the origins of ancient languages, etc. We need more schools to offer
computer programming; it's a skill that will empower the next generation in almost any field. Learning to code is
easy, fun, and a good thing to learn young.Harry Lewis

How?
3. To provide a melting point for leading hardware and software providers and developers as well programers and programing firms to meet and work
together and to come up with relevant applications for our local community and
language

Consider This"The point is that
the world does not need more code for
its own sake, but better and more universal thinking
about code"
Jeff Atwood

Why Code?Just the attempt to try to learn JavaScript, as Codeacademy starts students out with, is a
useful and eye-opening exercise, no matter what you do in
life.

Why Code?
“Here we are, 2013, we ALL depend on technology to communicate, to bank, and none
of us know how to read and write code. It's important for these kids, right now, starting at 8
years old, to read and write code

Why Code?
Kids spend an increasing portion of their lives interacting
with and through screens about
which they know little or nothing.

Why Code?
The more they do so, the more they accept
the values of Facebook, Google, or iTunes as
pre-existing conditions of the universe. Instead of opening their minds, technology shuts them
down.

Why Code?
Compounding all this, the few places most young people have available to learn about computers
tend to teach them how to use and conform to
existing software applications rather than how to make their own.
![Page 86: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Why Code?
Introducing kids to code reveals to them how computers are
really “anything” machines, capable
of doing pretty much anything we
program into them.
![Page 87: 5 Reasons Why Our Children Are About To Miss Out On The Greatest Opportunity In The WorldI](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5559cf14d8b42a93208b4a57/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Why Code?"It gives them the ability both to read and to write
in the foundational languages of the digital age and, in doing so,
fundamentally transforms their perspective from that
of user to maker, consumer to creative”.

Strategic Partnership
In strategic partnership with leading hardware and software providers and developers as well as
programming firms we would be using simple coding curriculums from code.org,
code academy.com and scratch.mit.edu just to mention a few to
develop appropriate and relevant courses and programs

The Scratch Program
Scratch is a programming language that makes it
easy to create your own interactive stories,
animations, games, music, and art -- and
share your creations on the web.

The Scratch Program
As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn
important mathematical and computational
ideas, while also learning to think creatively,
reason systematically, and work collaboratively.
