Google's CEO on Teenagers and the Future of the Web
In this interview with Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, we learn what he thinks about the future of the internet and how teenagers will consume media. Schmidt thinks that Chinese-language content will dominate the web. He also says to look at how teenagers consume content today. He says they easily move from one application to the next with relative ease. He then reminds us that today's teenagers are tomorrow's employees.
Schmidt thinks in 5 years their will be no distinction between TV, radio, and the web. If what Schmidt says materializes how will this effect education. I have said in many posts on the blog that I believe smartphone growth will continue to expand exponentially and this will impact how schools use technology. If a student has a smartphone today he has unlimited access to data, video, radio, and all other forms of information without ever accessing the school network. How this will all look in 5 years is impossible to imagine. Schools need to prepare for the wave of mobile access that is hitting our educational shores now and will only increase in intensity each year. Below is a video of a portion of the interview with Eric Schmidt.
