Tableau Public & data

And it's interesting, isn't it, that Ted Cuzzillo of Datadoodle, quoted below, says that 'In the same way that YouTube spawned a surge of new filmmakers, Tableau Public will bring on a new generation of data players and spectators.'
Data Players?
Data Spectators?
... This reminds me of the John Dewey quote, "If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow."
If we want to prepare today's children for the world of tomorrow, we must teach them to adapt to new ideas and help them explore innovative concepts on their own. Teaching them that things aren't fixed, that they can impact upon the world, enabling them to manage change, to learn from others, to adapt, to think freely, will equip them to take on the jobs that don't yet exist or, indeed, create the jobs and the opportunities that don't yet exist.

Would you have predicted a job for a Data Player a year ago?
Or for a YouTube filmmaker five years ago?
Or for a Digital Resources Manager in a school ten years ago?
Or for a Website Designer fifteen years ago?

Huge industries have been created out of nowhere and it is mainly the young and educated who have filled those roles and created that growth. That surely proves more than ever that there is a bright future for all of our children and makes our role as educators all the more important.
