This is partially why visionary initiatives and individuals are often the ones we look towards for real change.

Many experts and researchers forecast that entire sectors of work will no longer be available as they get replaced by robots or software (robots that you can't push around or unplug).

Mohamed offers many of our youth a chance to be part of not just the future of the region but that of the globe, as changes in tech constantly change the scope of the words, fast, revolutionary and global, causing the demands of the labor market to shift completely from one year to the next and only keep changing and growing faster, his school provides them with the necessary tools to catch up to it, allowing them to ready themselves for their future, that will make our present look positively quaint and abysmally slow About 14 years ago we used to call it the "Age of Speed." E-mails were becoming even more main-stream, knowing Microsoft office was a valuable sought after skill and if you knew of Photoshop, let alone knew how to use it you were one of the technical elites. Fast forward to today and the "Age of Speed" looks positively quaint and abysmally slow, to the point Where many of its technologies, for example, dial-up modems and floppy disks, have been retired and are entirely unrecognizable by younger generations. Yet our education system hasn't changed, and if it did try to change the decision makers will be hard pressed to discern what will be valuable and relevant for the coming day and age.
