It’s been 16 years since WhatsApp… 14 years since YouTube… and over 10 years since smartphones became common—and today, mobile phones have practically become a part of our bodies.
But have we really benefited from these technologies?
Even today, around 70% of people in Pakistan lack basic education…
27 million children are out of school…
And the 40–50 million who do attend are often taught by teachers, of whom barely 5% use AI tools like ChatGPT.
Just think… YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine,
where all kinds of knowledge are available—
yet we’ve mostly used it only for watching, not for learning or earning.
Pakistan has exporters, businesses, and immense talent—
but we’ve never truly tried to share our knowledge with the world.
The real problem is that our mindset is still stuck
in an outdated education system—
where rote learning, handwriting, and old concepts dominate.
Meanwhile, the world has already moved toward AI, automation, and digital earning.
If we don’t change ourselves now,
we won’t just fall behind… we’ll become irrelevant.
