Exponențial
Tehnologia evoluează într‑un ritm exponențial, spune Azeem Azhar, iar noi nu ne vom putea adapta decât dacă ne însușim un ritm progresiv mai lent. Rezultatul? Un „decalaj exponențial“ între puterea noii tehnologii și capacitatea noastră de a ține pasul cu ea. Azhar explică prin decalajul exponențial unele dintre cele mai presante dificultăți ale societății în care trăim: de la inerția afacerilor în a implementa digitalizarea până la reacția sclerozată a democrațiilor liberale în fața avântului problemelor sociale. Cum trebuie întâmpinată această tendință care ne erodează economia, politica și viața? Autorul propune câteva răspunsuri.
Cărțile întregesc viața
Cartea debutează cu savuroasa conversație dintre Dawkins și astrofizicianul Neil deGrasse Tyson despre cum le putem schimba oamenilor modul de gândire, o binevenită introducere la temele majore abordate în continuare: evoluția omului, religia, ateismul, expansiunea universului, importanța studierii biologiei, intoleranța intelectuală și altele. Implicit, autorul ne îndeamnă să punem la îndoială totul, să ne eliberăm de prejudecăți, să ne formăm o gândire critică și creativă. Sarcasmul său bine-cunoscut se îndreaptă spre cei care se încăpățânează să dovedească faptul că evoluționismul greșește. Demonstrează, totodată, cât de periculoase sunt anumite teorii pentru societate. Entuziasmul său este neobosit și contagios, iar opiniile lui ne rămân întipărite în minte multă vreme după ce am închis cartea.

Teaching Higher Education to Lead
Competition to provide education is tense, attributed to the ease to access and process information. Technological development has also landed a terrible blow to the employment situation, which forces higher education institutions to review what and how their students learn.

They need to know that poorly made decisions hurt the businesses and students. In this book, Sam Choon-Yin explores how technological development has the potential to transform higher education. However, the same technology also has the potential to disrupt the education sector. The author ...
