It should be emphasized that society 5.0 is not a continuation of the industrial revolution 4.0 and evolved into the industrial revolution 5.0. Many think that we have arrived in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and are now entering a new era of the era of the 5.0 industrial revolution, of course this is an inaccurate opinion. The industrial revolution talks about major changes in technology which refers to technological progress, while society refers to the human component that uses technology. The presence of computers and the internet is a big product in the world of industrial technology 4.0 and how it is implemented is society 5.0. Society 5.0 is an era where technology is part of humans themselves. Therefore, advances in information technology must be balanced with a supportive educational curriculum, so that it can give birth to individuals who have soft skills so that they can compete globally.

The synergy between the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 in the world of education, provides a new direction in the learning process. Education that occurs today knows no space and time, and can take place without having to be in the classroom. Education is increasingly open and accessible, this means that advances in technology can make it easier for us to carry out the learning process. In addition, recently a pandemic has emerged, which not only has a negative impact, but on the other hand actually provides benefits. The presence of a pandemic in learning requires that academics and learners must be able to be adaptive to these changes.

The industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 as well as the pandemic created a synergy that accelerates humans to adapt quickly to changes that occur, by utilizing technological advances in learning. Rapid technological advances must be able to synergize with the capabilities and adaptations of humans who operationalize technological results. Technology is not a tool that replaces the role of humans, but the presence of increasingly advanced technology can facilitate human life, including in the field of education, so that education will be more adaptive to the times and more visionary in designing its needs.
