Description
In four events, the Goethe-Institut, in collaboration with the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, is approaching the future of learning and knowledge from different angles: Starting with reading in the digital age, the future of language learning, digital and analog forms of memory and the role of robots in the human learning process.
The achievements of the digital age have made access to information extremely easy. The smartphone opens up sources that were previously geographically and financially inaccessible and literally puts the world at our fingertips. The cloud is home to unbelievable amounts of data that would blow up any man-made archive.
And yet the upheavals of the "digital revolution" have also brought the realization that the unlimited availability of information is not the same as learned and remembered knowledge. Although the digital space offers an almost inexhaustible potential as an omnipresent supply of knowledge, how will we use it in the future? How will we learn, how will we remember?
