The world we live in Access to Everything, All the Time, From Any Device, Anywhere

Knowledge-intensive and innovation-led

globalized world

Everyone competes with everyone, self-branding

on the rise

The less competent are replaced by those who,

in other parts of the world, can do the same for

less

The rate of change of the economy requires

creative and differentiated workforce

The ability to create value, with creativity and

competence, becomes essential for survival in the

labour market

But the uniformity of school systems produces

almost undifferentiated workforce

Why the modern world is

destroying your brain ?

•We are doing the jobs of 10 different

people while still trying to keep up with

our lives, our children and parents,

our friends, our careers, our hobbies,

and our favorite TV shows •When people think they’re multitasking,

they’re actually just switching from one

task to another very rapidly. And every

time they do, there’s a cognitive cost in

doing so. •Multitasking creates a dopamine-

addiction feedback loop, effectively

rewarding the brain for losing focus and

for constantly searching for external

stimulation. To make matters worse, the prefrontal cortex has a novelty bias,

meaning that its attention can be easily

hijacked by something new

•Glenn Wilson, former visiting professor of

psychology at Gresham College, London, calls it info-mania
