What skills are recession-proof? How should you prepare your high school student or an uncertain future? Learn why jobs are in decline and what will replace them Understand how digital media production will replace some standardized testing Gain insight into how digital technology trends such as decentralization and open source could collide to challenge the nation's largest corporations Study the history of economic trends and inquire into whether America is bound for totalitarian corporate rule or a drastic expansion of democratic values Explore the research on human bias and discover why anti-bias is crucial for economic growth Delve into the limits of artificial intelligence and how a digital native future inverts its role in society Question whether surveillance capitalism is something we should worry about Digital Platforms Are the Most Profitable Companies on the Planet, and Poised to Transform Education… A former software engineer, Principal Zeimer takes readers through an in-depth evaluation of how digital technology and economics are poised to transform education by examining the concept of academic capital. A MINDSET SHIFT FROM: INDUSTRIAL TO: DIGITAL FROM: Students are consumers of information TO: Students are producers of academic content (the heart of academic capital) FROM: More stuff represents prosperity TO: Human attention (active users) represent prosperity FROM: Students identify "correct" answer as fast as possible TO: Students think critically about questions that they design FROM: Broadcasting TO: Narrowcasting FROM: Boss decides what to produce which is pushed to consumers with marketing ("supply side") TO: Users decide what to produce and they pull items into existence ("Demand side") FROM: It costs money to distribute goods and services leading to economies of scale (monopoly dynamics) TO: Distribution is free and instant leading to network effects (winner-takes-all dynamics) FROM: Security means armed guards and guns, stormtroopers TO: Security means encryption, hackers FROM: Ownership (owning capital leads to profits / Zero-sum dynamics) TO: Sharing (Uber has no cars, Airbnb no homes, AliBaba no stores / positive-sum dynamics) FROM: The corporation / "having a job" / centralized TO: The Platform / "doing work" / crowdsourced FROM: Movement of physical atoms of stuff TO: Movement of electrons FROM: Groupthink of the executive team TO: "Mass identities" manipulate "the crowd" Guaranteed to capture the hearts of readers interested in bitcoin, education, or basic income.

Autorenporträt
Nadav Zeimer earned his B.A. in physics at Brandeis University, studied secondary science education at The City College of NY, and public affairs at Baruch College. Nadav worked as a software engineer and automation specialist in Silicon Valley prior to becoming an award-winning physics and robotics teacher and turnaround high school principal. Nadav's transition from software to education started when he launched his first nonprofit corporation in 2000, focused on hyper-local digital radio production, later known as podcasting. Mr. Zeimer brought podcasting into his science classroom and by 2009 was selected to lead a new school design team in NYC. His digital media focused approach turned a failing school on the verge of shutdown into a top-performing institution for low-income students. Nadav's passion project is to eliminate standardized testing and replace it with hand-on media production. Principal Zeimer's work has been featured in a range of media from a full-length documentary about his robotics students (the first all minority team to be nationally ranked) which was released at the TriBeCa Film Center, coverage in Popular Mechanics Magazine, The New York Times, Chalkbeat, WNYC / SchoolBook, and DNAinfo among many others. With the help of his wife, friends, and community-based partners, principal Zeimer secured millions of dollars to support hand-on STEAM and social justice programming, with a special focus on addressing the mindset of students involved in the foster care system. The Zeimers adopted their first child from Japan and currently serve as foster parents to a medically fragile child.
