Technology is not a solution for curriculum - to determine what students ought to study. However, it is an important consideration as digital technology is an increasing part of our environment that we live, work and play. Part of what students will need is the ability to survive - remain safe - in the digital environment. There needs to be a mental model for children to understand the digital environment and how to behave accordingly. More importantly, we'll need wisdom to achieve a balance between hope and despair for the future. Wisdom doesn't come with a manual, but we could look back and learn from History how civilisations have dealt with changes to society.
