The authors state that technology is not only more prevalent in people's lives, but its growing use will affect schools' curriculum, new digital skills in jobs, and the changing use of services. However, they point out that education establishments are not keeping up with the technology growth, that new skills will have to be learnt outside of only digital skills, and that digital technology could lead to increased social exclusion for different sections of our society.RAND Corporation1-8United States10.7249/PE238https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE238.htmldoes not applycontinuing educationeducation policyeducational technologyhttps://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE238.htmlSanta Monica, California, United States, North America
