Future shock

  • It is book written by the futurist Alvin Toffler in 1970. In the book, Toffler defines the term “future shock” as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire entities. His shortest definition for the term is a personal perception of “too much change in too short period of time”

To Bridge the Digital Gap

  • Technology supported skills need to be taught in school


If the school fails to respond to emergent changes and needs…
  • The new learner may lose appreciation of the educational system.
  • The increase of drop-out rate every year.
