The document discusses the significant changes that have occurred in healthcare and learning in the last 10-15 years, which have exceeded the amount of change in the previous 1000 years. New technologies like smartphones, social media platforms, MOOCs, and online learning tools have led to more disintermediation, decentralization, and democratization in healthcare and learning. These changes have disrupted traditional models and increased access to informal learning opportunities. The future of healthcare is moving towards more personalized and technical solutions like rapid diagnostic tests using small portable devices.

82. The future is already
here….
….it’s just not evenly
distributed.
83. 1) Everything that’s already in the world when
you’re born is just normal
2) Anything invented before you turn thirty is incredibly
exciting & creative and with any luck you can make a
career out of it
3) Anything invented after you’re thirty is against the natural
order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation
as we know it, until it’s been around for about ten years
when it gradually turns out to be alright really!
Douglas Adams
