Why is learning future technologies essential for school students?

Look around yourself. It is hard to think of anything that doesn't involve technology. Technology has seeped into every part of our lives. It has been transforming the existing industries while creating many new ones. It is one of the aspects of life that isn't going anywhere. Rather, we can only expect technology to advance and further change how we work and live. In fact, with the speed with which we are progressing, the day isn't far when even the simplest of daily tasks will be governed by technology, including education. Why go far? We are experiencing the advent of this transformation, even today. The future belongs to those who are up to date with the latest technologies. In this context, it isn't hard to explain how important it is for school students to learn future technologies.

The concept of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE evolved as a powerful tool for improving machine design and efficiencies. And since then, humans are constantly in the quest of creating artificial intelligence by giving more power to the machines. Intelligence is abstract and unique. This super power identifies humans uniquely from other living organisms. If we are determined to impart this superpower into machines, we must be ready for analogous good and bad machines or applications, in case of technologies (Here, I am trying to draw an analogy between good and bad human beings based on the thought-process to good and bad machines which are empowered equally or even more than human beings.)

There are pros and cons associated with this issue. Just like every REAL-WORLD proposal, model or situation has both, positive and negative aspects related to it, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is no exception despite being “ARTIFICAL”!  

Lets just look at them one by one.

BACKGROUND AND ORIGIN

Today, AI is a buzz word and our survival is becoming dependent on it. But during 1950s, people of unaware of this term. Only in 1955, John McCarthy introduced the term- “ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE”. The idea was to implement of analogous human intelligence into machines. Humans used the available information and reasoning skills to make decisions and solve complex problems. If machines could master these skills, it would be a boon to the society. I wish this assumption was true!
