Howard Gardner's "5 Minds for the Future" gives us great insights to the future of human intelligence and possible potentials. The Harvard Professor and author of the "Changing Minds" lays down the framework of a globally connected futuristic education platform based on the 5 minds namely
1) Expertise in any one discipline without which an individual would not be able to succeed in any workplace and will be relegated to menial tasks
2) Cultivation of synthesizing capabilities without which the individual will be overwhelmed by the information available worldwide and unable to make the right decisions in life or in professional matters.
3) Individuals who do not have creativity will soon be replaced by computers and robots and this will drive away those who have the creative spark
4) Individuals who don't have respect for others will vitiate the workplace and the world. They will not be worthy of respect by others and will lead to violent confrontations that will further poison the environment.
5) Individuals without ethics will lead to an world without motivated workers and responsible citizens and lead to an desolate and friction laden planet.
It is something that is a must read for not only us but also for the younger generation who are changing the world in their own definitive way. Probably it is something that the Qaddafi's and the Sarkozy's, the Jamie Dimon or Lloyd Blankfein should also read.
