Virtual Reality Virtual realitytechnology holds enormous potential to change the future for a number of fields, from medicine, business, architecture to manufacturing In business, a variety of industries are benefiting from VR. Carmakers are creating safer vehicles, architects are constructing stronger buildings and even travel agencies are using it to simplify vacation planning. Help Paraplegics Regain Body Functions Patients wearing VR headsets tasked to move through a stadium as a soccer player were able to regain some brain functions associated with moving their legs. Of the eight patients tested, each regained some control and four were upgraded from full paraplegics to partial paraplegics. Improve Architecture Virtual reality will benefit key players in the construction space such as architects and designers. The tool allows a user to virtually inhabit spaces in three dimensions. Computer-generated images will replace hand-drawn renderings — ultimately reducing time spent reworking layouts and drawings, effectively reducing costs and increasing safety. Train Medical Students Virtual reality provides medical and dental students a safe and controlled environment to practice surgeries and procedures, allowing them to make mistakes without having any impact on an actual patient, and prepare for any unexpected situations.

Editor's Notes
- #2 By 2025, Millennials alone will make up that 75 percent of the workforce. The average attention span of the Millennial generation is 90 seconds.
- #3 The days when employers could dictate messages and working practices to employees are long gone. With the struggle for competitive advantage set to continue throughout the age for business, it pays dividends to create a flexible and technology-enabled learning ecosystem that can foster the future generations in the workforce.
- #5 #1 - Given the capabilities afforded by new technologies, especially mobile devices, learning no longer needs to be fixed and structured in one place. In the future, students will enter the room each day and then configure their space to fit their intellectual stature. 2. Learning will be completely supported and infused with technology. Seamlessly, tools and apps will buttress the ways in which students consume course content, create artifacts and evidence of their learning. 3. Learning plans could be adapted to align with the learning status of each student. Rather than developing their curriculum in isolation, teachers could take time to collaborate with colleagues to create customized, flexible learning plans.
- #6 We have always embraced the future and ideas about what the future may hold. In order for organizations to meet the challenges of the future, it is necessary to begin with education and how learning is conducted. By designing the right educational systems we could create resource-rich, student-centric, active learning environments for our students.

- #8 The pace of change in today’s word is astounding with more content being produced than ever before. People are consuming, producing, and communicating information in previously unimaginable ways. To be competitive, tomorrow's workers must be more creative problem solvers, better communicators, and life-long learners.
- #10 Employers want universal skills that cut across academic disciplines and are acquired in any job where employees are working with others. Despite all the emphasis in the news about the need for computer software and programming skills, the most important qualities employers seek are basic teamwork, problem-solving and the ability to plan and prioritize.

- #25 Biometrics is a form of user identification and access control that uses physiological attributes such as a person’s fingerprints, face and retina in order to identify users. Biometrics can also identify users based on certain behavioral tendencies. With increasingly more sensitive and personal information being stored on devices nowadays, biometric technology has become more and more important for security, and to ensure that this information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
- #28 With an overwhelming growth of screens and devices surrounding us today, many children born into this computing generation are remarkably tech savvy, but at the cost of learned communication To address this issue, there are soft dolls that bundle an ‘emotional intelligence content platform’ to deliver thousands of stories and hours of conversational recordings, all stored within the toy for offline use
