Learning’s Next Phase, Captured On Video

Yesterday, I explored a powerful story: how human learning has evolved from vertical to horizontal, and now toward something even more transformative — ambient.

For most of history, learning was vertical, flowing down through families and traditions. The rise of schools, books, and digital platforms expanded it horizontally, allowing knowledge to move sideways across communities and institutions. But today, a new phase is emerging: ambient learning. In this model, knowledge doesn’t just pass down or across — it surrounds us. Supported by AI, sensors, and connected environments, learning becomes ever-present, context-aware, and seamlessly woven into daily life.

This video brings that story to life. It illustrates how we are moving toward a world where learning is no longer confined to classrooms, but embedded in the very atmosphere we live in — always on, always shaping us.
