1) The document discusses how technology and constant change require students to be adaptable, able to collaborate, and improve skills. 2) It notes that in the past, jobs like elevator operators, pinsetters, and switchboard operators no longer exist due to technology. 3) The key to surviving and thriving in today's world is being adaptable to change, rather than being the strongest or most intelligent. Students must learn collaboration and improvisation.
