“The last decade has been the decade of software eating the world.” - Marc Andreessen, co-founder of famed Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and inventor of the web browser.
Uber now does more taxi rides than all the global taxi companies combined. Airbnb has more rooms on its platform than the biggest hotel chains combined. Zoom hosts more conversations than the biggest global telecom companies like Vodafone and T-Mobile. And surprisingly, Uber, Airbnb and Zoom did not exist even a decade ago!
How did these companies disrupt decades-old industries and monopolies in such a short time? The answer is by leveraging technology. And who will build these technologies of the future? The school-going children of today!
So, how do we empower our children to be creators of the future (vs. just being consumers of technology)? How do we ensure the foundation of an ethical and equitable future? By helping our children develop 21st-century skills and leverage technology as a new superpower!
