What is a School in the Information Age? What is the Information Age?

The information age refers to the new scientific and technological revolution marked by the breakthrough and rapid development of the electronic information industry, mainly including information technology, bioengineering technology, new material technology, marine technology, and space technology. Transistors and large-scale integrated circuits, greatly reducing the cost of information dissemination, the result is:

Human society has entered the information age from the industrial age.

With the advent and gradual popularization of computers, the influence of information on the whole society has gradually increased to an absolutely important position. The amount of information, the speed at which information is disseminated, the speed at which information is processed, and the degree to which information is applied all increase in a geometric progression. The development of information technology has posed new challenges to people in learning, mastering, and applying knowledge.

Due to the application of computer technology and network technology, people's learning speed is accelerating, that is to say, from the era of digital processing to the era of microcomputer, to the era of networking, the learning speed is getting faster and faster, which requires our management model to adapt to new characteristics and new models.

The post-information society, also known as the bit age or the digital age. A new era after the Industrial Age and the Information Age. This is a new concept proposed by Negroponte, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, in his book "Digital Survival". ]

The current state of our country is a stage in which industrialization is the mainstay, and at the same time, it is rapidly developing towards informatization. Both rules are at work at the same time. So for industrialization, it has its civilization rules, which have lasted for nearly three hundred years, and it is characterized by "mold manufacturing mass production".

All walks of life have their own molds, have their own standards, such a mold, a standard, so that our production can be realized on a large scale, including our education. Our education is also carried out according to the logic of industrialization. Why is it called "mold making mass production"?

Because the industrial age needs to be effective, and our education also needs to be effective, so our education can only take the form of class teaching, with forty or fifty people in a class and one teacher facing everyone at the same time. So today, I am facing thousands of students at the same time, saying that such an efficiency is the efficiency that must be guaranteed in the industrial age. However, in the information society, the situation has undergone some changes, and in the information society, many industries do not have molds, and mass production is impossible.

Because in the industrial age, the object of our social practice was nature. In front of everyone, we have standards, but in the information society, the object of our practice is mainly people. In industrial society, the most influential industry is called manufacturing; The most influential sector in the information society is the service sector.

In the service industry, the object of service is not nature, but ourselves. Because the object has changed, the rules that operate in society have changed. For example, in the industrial society, we have some ideas, some truths, in the industrial society is gradual, it is a society that can make plans, and it is a society of sustainable development, but these characteristics have changed in the information society.

In the information age, the development of society is not a daily progress of one percent, it is possible to progress ten percent a day, and the next nine days are not progressive, this kind of cross development is with a particularly strong jump, not like the industrial society, we can all plan well, step by step forward, the jump is very large, the change is great, and at the same time in the information society, the factors affecting social development have become extremely complex, making the development of this society unavoidable. Industrial society and information society have their own scientific foundation, in the industrial society, the scientific foundation that supports this society is Newton's classical physics, but to the information society, Newton's classical physics is no longer admired, relativity and quantum mechanics have become the most basic disciplines of the information society, that is to say, under the two forms of civilization, the scientific basis has also changed, because only Newton's classical physics can not explain the phenomenon of the information society, why is it not a daily percent.

What about one percent growth? At that time, from a cause, we can't deduce its effect, or vice versa, from a result, we can't tell its cause backwards, so the relationship becomes extremely complicated, our ability to the future becomes very weak, and the development of society becomes more and more incompatible. ]

The new scientific and technological revolution is marked by the breakthrough and rapid development of the electronic information industry, which mainly includes five major fields: information technology, bioengineering technology, new material technology, marine technology, and space technology. Transistors and large-scale integrated circuits have greatly reduced the cost of information dissemination, and as a result, human society has entered the information age from the industrial age. ]

The information age is the era when knowledge is king, that is, if you have the most advanced technology and skills, you can be the king. However, when technology is increasingly hitting a ceiling, and the resources and energy that society as a whole can invest are limited, then whoever has the most powerful concept can attract the most resources.

Whether it's art, agriculture of the future, or the space industry.

In order to gain the attention and resources of society, it is necessary to use imagination to create a blueprint for the future, and only when people are convinced and see the achievability and benefits of the blueprint will the group put it into action.

For example, artificial intelligence: when robots
