Recent Technological history Education for Leapfrogging in defining tomorrow’s Workplace with Disruptive Technology Mwangi, John, School of Social Sciences, Mount Kenya University, Nakuru, Kenya. johnmwangikmc@yahoo.com Mwakio, Loizer School of Social Science, Mount Kenya University, Nakuru, Kenya, lmwakio@mku.ac.ke Abstract Predicting the future accurately depends on keeping pace and mastery with the dynamic unfolding ICT revolution. Technology as a body of knowledge used to make life easier develops tools to solve the present and future problems. Technology has shaped the today‟s work place and is already sketching tomorrow‟s workplace by its ability to improve our abilities. History-to-future thinking has three major predictive models. The third predictive mode is certainly the most systematically developed and entails looking at recent history for the trends that are likely to continue in the future. This mode is conservative in use but is often the most accurate. Research pegged on prior learning theory which postulates that the ability to learn and remember new material depends on what is already known. Research adopted the descriptive survey, data being collected from case studies. Ex post facto - after the facts research done retrospectively in search of tangible relationship or effects to future predictions. Key findings: Recent targeted technological history reveals trends that are likely to continue in the Future. Backward or past events study attempts to offer an explanation for the future which man has a craving to know and predict the future, explaining why masses continue to flock to fortune-tellers and astrological charts for predictions based on historical events. Recommendations; Leapfrogging by developing nations is only premised on frequently reviewing and updating their education curriculums to enrich them with purposeful targeted history of technological for defining and securing tomorrow‟s workplace. Keywords: Disruptive technology, workplace. Introduction Predicting the future accurately depends on keeping pace and mastery with the dynamic unfolding ICT revolution. Technology as a body of knowledge used to make life easier develops tools to solve the present and future problems. Technology has shaped the today‟s work place and is already sketching tomorrow‟s workplace by its ability to improve our abilities. in this era of rapid technological succession of change „business at the speed of thought‟ will exclusively be „managing with the force of facts‟ the only way to put distance between your company and the crowd is to do an excellent job with information (Gates, 2001). There are more competitors today and equally more information available about them and about the market, which is now worldwide. The winners will be the ones who develop a world-class digital nervous system so that information can easily flow through their companies for maximum and constant learning. This was the gap- problem in the market that was met by mobile phone money transfer technology in Kenya. In this age of innovations that create a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market leading firms, products, and alliances Gates argues (2001) no company can assume that its position in the market is safe. A company should constantly be thinking about its options. One company might be hugely successful if it broke into another business. Another company might find that it should stay with what it knows and does best. The most important thing is that a company's managers have the information to understand where they can compete and what their next great market could be. The Japanese philosophy of kaizen: “continuous improvement of everything, by everyone” is a live saver here. Staffs at all levels are tasked with improving processes and products through “quality circles.” M-banking Technology is eradication the digital divide but also reversing the problem of "haves" and " have-nots” by enabling leapfrogging in defining tomorrow‟s Workplace. The tools of the Industrial Age extended the capacities of our
