Summary | It is imperative for everyone who wants to stay updated in their field to keep educating themselves. Traditinally, this education happened in company seminars but there are increasingly more online courses on offer. MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are a modern alternative where teachers and students never meet in person but interact entirely digitally. A course design in between the two is called "blended learning" where students first self-educate online and meet up in a seminar later on. Hot topics in further education of professionals are all things connected to technology and especially topics around privacy.

Summary | It might be better for young people not to talk about private issues via text messages. A counselor explains that online conversations and face-to-face conversations are similar for young people. If they have "talked" to someone, it usually means they had a digital or online exchange. However, to resolve personal issues, online conversations are not the best medium; they might even worsen the situation. The counselor's suggestion would be to write a letter. Finally, the image that people have of young people (connected and isolated) is not necessarily true.
