Ya, the level of education we give our kids probably isn't required anymore just like we didn't always have these schooling systems setup to the levels the exist at today.

I wouldn't say it's the level of education that needs to change, but rather, the topics.

We are going to need intense education in problem solving, creativity, empathy, curiosity and flexibility. Those are things which can be taught, and for which we have not had sufficient time to teach fully, in the past.

There might very well come a point at which your survival relies on your ability to make a friend. Currently, this is only true of jobs like sales or business negotiations. It is likely to be important for everyone in the future.

I don't know what form those schooling systems will take, but it's likely to be very different from anything that has come before.
