As a #father I started worrying what the #future would look like and what skills my children will need in it. They are surrounded by technology that seems to hypnotize them. And that is fine with us when we have work to do. But being to dependant on what #tech offers doesn't seems right. Their mental skills are still developing. Paper published couple of years ago in #Nature journal showed that human brain is the fastest growing organ until the age of 12, and that is unique to the #humans. This is the window to develop mental skills. Apart from school and upbringing I think 3 skills are essential with rising technology and #AI :

1. Mathematics,

2. Memory,

3. Logics and decision making.

They should preform calculation without the help of apps, not look at the phone to recall data, and know how to find resources of information and make a conclusion. They should read all kind of books often, know how to politely speak to people, and be skeptical. Future will show if this is possible to achieve.
