A New World of Learning
Exponential development of information and communication technologies is changing the world of learning. As a consequence of exponential exposure to media and information flows, our brains are adapting and new skills are arising. This especially occurs with the new generation of people who encounter media and information tools at the earliest stages of life. Although many of us are aware of such changes, there is very little research-based information to explain them. In recent years, evidence was presented demonstrating neuroplastic basis of human brain adaptation, although neuroplastic mechanisms are still poorly understood. Today's schools and universities are still analogue, whereas the students can be said to be digital. The educational system does not properly recognize the skills of the new generations and does not respond to their needs. New aspects of social evolution suggest that we should also think not only of adapting our learning skills, but also our social skills. These skills should be integrated into all learning processes, from preschool education to lifelong learning. The aim of this editorial is to facilitate discussion within the medical profession about the arising new world of learning.
