Dear WinkWorld Readers,
In the previous blog post, I shared a review of Harari’s 21 Lessons for the 21st Century and Zakaria’s 10 Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World. Click here, if you want to glance at that short blog post. After reading these two books, we predict five categories which reflect the needs of students and society in our post-COVID world.
Since that time, we created two new images which demonstrate the five categories.

I did this review with our 2nd grandson, Luke, who is an avid reader/writer/thinker. Meet Luke.
Since that time, I have received suggestions of other related books, which also focus on the future and higher education. Thank you.
My colleague sent these two titles which she had just ordered. Hope we hear more about these books, Janice.
Academia Next: The Futures of Higher Education by Bryan Alexander
and
The Small College Imperative: Models for Sustainable Futures by Mary B. Marcy and Richard Ekman
Sharon, a long-time friend and colleague suggested that we check out The Social Dilemma on Netflicks.

Yikes, I knew nothing about this series, but I can see that it will be time to call in help from the millennials and/or Gen Zers: Fortunately, our 5 grandkids fall into one of these two categories, and are more than willing to explain things to us. My reading tells me that the millennials and Gen Zers are very different from each other–something I sure have noticed.
