Experience the Future: This week McDonalds announced it is going to replace 2500 cashiers with self-ordering kiosks. Last week Amazon’s new “Just Walk Out Technology” eliminates cashiers, sales people, shelf stockers and other low wage jobs. Obviously the future is here now, and if we don’t massively re-think how we educate our children, not many of them are going to be able to get a job.
