It’s hard to imagine a future for college that isn’t touched by the ongoing digital revolution. But the disruption coming to higher education may not be what we expect. On-line courses may well transform how universities deliver knowledge, but economists say digital learning isn’t likely to replace universities entirely. In a world where technology is upending jobs and industries at an ever-faster pace, graduates may need to retrain and learn new skills long after they’ve received their diplomas. This could mean colleges may become more necessary than ever, but only if they rethink the time spent there as a single stage of life. That’s why institutions like Georgia Tech are betting on a future where schools welcome back students throughout their careers, helping them stay competitive in a job market that’s transforming faster all the time. — In collaboration with Retro Report, learn more here: qz.com/is/what-happens-next-2 Watch on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatHappensNextByQZandRetroReport/ Quartz is a digital news outlet dedicated to telling stories at the intersection of the important and the interesting.

The world has never been so old, and it’s about to get a whole lot older. By 2050, the number of people aging over 65 worldwide will nearly double, to 1.6 billion. And in places like the United States, the baby boomers are becoming poorer as retirement savings dwindle and the costs of housing and healthcare rise. And a growing cohort of American seniors have found an extreme solution. They’ve given up on owning homes and taken to the road, living in vans and RVs, to become nomads, chasing seasonal work as farm hands or as workers in Amazon’s CamperForce warehouses. While many have adopted this life out of financial necessity, they’re also an example of another trend. Many healthy people want to find a way to stay productive. This means the end of retirement is coming because many seniors are inventing a whole new stage of life, as midlife careers wane and something entirely new begins. — In collaboration with Retro Report, learn more here: qz.com/is/what-happens-next-2 Watch on Facebook:
Virtual and augmented reality are creating new, immersive experiences for audiences. We can “feel” stories rather than just watching or reading them. But is more emotion what’s really missing from news? Will feelings be the new facts? SUBSCRIBE:
The world’s supply of cheap and clean fresh water will likely plummet as the climate warms and populations boom. Can we find ways to conserve, cut waste, and find new sources before it’s too late? The latest installment of our What Happens Next series looks for solutions in an unlikely spot: a city perched on the edge of the world’s oldest desert. For the residents of Windhoek, Namibia, the arid future arrived long before the growing freshwater crisis made headlines around the world. And this city responded to worsening cycles of drought by tapping water resources from a radical source that was already on hand: wastewater from their own city sewers. And while the technology for building a toilet-to-tap management system isn’t new, the mindset required to do here offers a lesson to any city facing an increasingly arid future.

Solar power is shaping the future of home. Homes of the future may rely a lot less on centralized power, and a lot more on sources that are decentralized, renewable, and cheap. Electricity is the cornerstone of the modern world, but more than a billion people worldwide do without. Those who do live on the grid rely on expensive, aging systems increasingly vulnerable to disasters and attacks, with little back-up. The rapidly dropping price of solar panels may offer a way forward. Whether they’re Michigan suburbanites looking to pay less each month or Guatemalan homesteaders looking to plug in their first light bulb, today’s solar customers are riding a wave that could change how our lives are wired.
