The conflict betwen traditional education and fast-changing technological reality cannot be overcome without modernising of the physics curriculum. There is not enough standard including some topics from contemporary physics in new syllabus.The new approach to teaching of classical physics is needed. The basic idea of this approach is rather simple: "The Newtonian (Maxwellian, ...) physics is the constituent component of the modern science, but the Newtonian (...) world view is not one. There is no physics besides contemporary physics."
