I think this is highly likely so all we can do is teach the current technology and the skills students will need to adapt to new technologies as they arise. As a student myself, lessons on programming focused on the 6502 CPU and Basic however this prepared me to adapt and learn VB and then later C, C++, PHP, etc. We need to prepare students as lifelong learners in a technological world.

Love your final point here – at the risk of sounding twee, technology is the future that pupils are born into, as teachers we should prepare them for that future. Although it does raise the question, with the speed that computing and technology progresses, do you think there’s the chance that what we teach pupils in school about technology would be obsolete by the time they leave?
