Digitalisation is changing our society at a rapid pace. Within a few years, the way we communicate and inform ourselves has changed fundamentally. The computer has replaced the book as the leading medium. This change of leading medium poses great challenges for schools: What skills do pupils need in a digitalised, increasingly automated world? How important is knowledge in the mind when mobile devices always have answers at hand? And why are media and information technology among the central themes of general education today? Beat Döbeli Honegger analyses the change in the leading media and shows how a modern school can meet it: neither with blanket rejection nor with naive euphoria, but with informed pragmatism.
