Teaching them the importance of continuous learning and providing tools and resources for the same can be invaluable . They should be ready to upgrade their skills or learn entirely new ones regularly . The tools we use in learning are changing — not only regenerative artificial intelligence but specific tools like fixing cars and the tractors of tomorrow , hot water heaters , refrigerators , and many more . New technology is constantly infiltrating these areas and learning to fix these things will take time and a lifelong learning mindset . Tools , such as augmented reality and virtual reality , will make this possible .
