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 | Big data can revolutionize various aspects of our lives: cancer diagnostics can profit from it, e-learning can be tailored towards each particular student's needs, traffic can be managed more efficiently, the police can patrol more in high-risk areas and times, and real-time translation can be available on all smartphones. This could eradicate the need to learn foreign languages. There are critics however, because all of these improvements open up new questions about privacy and data exploitation.
